The Week in Energy and Climate

Last week, Vice President Biden travelled to Manchester, New Hampshire to mark the weatherization of 200,000 homes under the Recovery Act. Across the country, thousands of construction workers are on the job making homes more energy efficient by adding insulation, replacing windows and doors, and sealing up cracks where air can leak out. This program reduces energy consumption, saves homeowners money, and creates jobs.
