Vice President Biden Unveils Report Focused on Expanding Green Jobs And Energy Savings For Middle Class Families

Vice President Biden unveiled Recovery Through Retrofit, a report that builds on the foundation laid in the Recovery Act to expand green job opportunities and boost energy savings by making homes more energy efficient.

This represent's a new approach to energy conservation that is aimed at the middle class income family. For me this represents a stepping stone to seeing a new way forward in housing. No matter how you view this, I want to make this point very clear: It is a start and any effort to improve the natural and built environment is a good step.

With that being said; I also see both positive and negative outcomes to such a program. I am not going to state my concerns in this post as I am hoping to hear from you! I want to know your thoughts on such a program. Do you see it as being successful? Are there any areas you see it being successful, or failing to accomplish the goals as set forth?

If you want my thoughts and opinions, well you will just have to wait until my post in 2 weeks.
