Many local governments, including Lake County, have received Federal funds to provide retrofitting services to homeowners to install energy related insulation, etc.
Lake County is just starting such a program, called Go Green, Get Green.
But Seattle's got $20-million and after one year, they have only created 14 jobs...
Hopefully there is more in Lake County, although our funding is a lot less (I think it is $800,000 to provide rebates on energy efficient appliances and retrofits).
