CLIMATEWIRE | In 2010, the Dutch government launched a program to sharply cut carbon dioxide emissions from one of the world’s largest and most problematic sources: homes.
So perhaps it was inevitable that in March the Biden administration announced a $32 million project to start an American version. It aims at refitting homes and apartments, starting with 30 projects in six states. Seventy-six percent of them doubted that a more energy-efficient home would raise the selling price of a house.
They are owned by the Boston Housing Authority, and the elderly, low-income renters who live there are sheltered from rising energy bills. This winter, construction will begin at the Eva White complex, and the most innovative aspect will be a 6-inch-thick facade of prefabricated panels to be wrapped around the outside of the buildings.
Perhaps the most ambitious retrofitting project in the U.S. is just starting in Chicago, where the city has selected 10 projects, most of them small, single-family brick homes that were built between 80 to 100 years ago, before there were building codes.
Fake.
Wait for the follow up on waste, fraud and abuse.SecGranholm loves burning up money returning dismal results. I gather political officers can't actually do real reporting.

Money that may be well spent Karen….
And maybe don't except the US military from any and all environmental laws
jleonard777 Who's paying for this?
Money, and policy directed toward energy efficiency programs that emphasize CO 2 emission while failing to adequately address indoor air quality (radon, mold,pests) is nothing more than climate agenda propaganda.
She’s easily the most incompetent Cabinet member of any WH Administration, ever. A complete joke. A buffoon just brassing it out in a job they have no understanding for. This project is a pointless waste of time & money. Mainly because she’s involved.
EenieMinis Sure, but what are they doing about the actual major polluters, large businesses?

Hey, SA, let's get scientific. Will CO2 reductions be measured? What climate change metrics will be measured to assess the effect of the CO2 emissions reductions?
This woman is particularly challenging for a suffering nation.
CO2 is food of plants. Its increasing makes the Earth more green and thriving. You - are the part of anti-human cult. And since you don't know what a woman is - you're not scientists either.
Also, so many public buildings, hotels, buses and trains jack up the air conditioning. Turning down a few degrees would save energy, plus covid spreads more rapidly in cold as heat eradicates the virus more rapidly.
My home is over 100 years old. All the windows need replacing
State building regulations must be synchronized.
