The 50% Solution: now that's progress
Steven Chu, our Energy Secretary, is showing the way in home energy efficiency. And he is not taking the 3% baby steps that National Grid is advocating.
He is weatherizing his new home in the Washington DC area, although according to a Reuters report of a speech he made at a DC conference "“weatherizing” isn’t a word he likes. “I’m decreasing its energy consumption and making money,” was how he put it........Chu figures his energy bills are about half what the home’s previous owners paid."
