ecoENERGY

A nice article about communication that the web site received directly from the Honourable Mr. Gary Lunn, Minister, Natural Resources Canada about the web site's articles on the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program.

Interesting article on the progress, or lack thereof, of the Canadian Federal Government's program to education and financially assist Canadian home owners (and owners of other types of buildings) to undertake energy conservation related home improvements.

Is the program working?

Unbelievable. How can the participate rate be so incredibly low by Canadian home owners in their Federal Government's energy retrofit grant program.

Why have the local and international media not taken up on this?
