President Obama's "Cash for Caulkers" Proposal


Finally! A plan that rewards "go green" citizens for using energy efficient appliances and insulation. President Obama proposed a plan to compensate homeowners up to $12, 000 in rebates for going environmental. I personally think that this is a brilliant plan. Not only does it save money, it also helps the earth stay healthy. Obama states that energy efficiency:
"creates jobs, saves money for families, and reduces the pollution that threatens our environment," Obama said. "With additional resources, in areas like advanced manufacturing of wind turbines and solar panels, for instance, we can help turn good ideas into good private-sector jobs."
In these times it is important to think about the environment and the damage it endures. This is the source of life that we are talking about, it should be the prime concern, not money, war or oil. Its pretty far fetched to say so, but it is true all the same. Wake up and look around America! What are WE doing to our lands and seas? Hats off to Obama for coming up with a plan like this.
