Jimmy Carter Redux
On Fox News last night, Britt Hume reported that John Kerry has a plan to spend 20 billion over the next ten years to develop independent, clean energy sources. No mention of what these sources might be, but Kerry knows how to pay for it: "winterize" federal buildings to save on utility bills!
As an architect, I know that there are only two ways to effectively reduce heating load in existing buildings: decrease heat loss through the building envelope, or lower ambient internal temperatures.
Senator Kerry appears to believe that he can create an entire new energy production and delivery system for the country in ten years, while paying for it by blowing insulation into office buildings and putting federal judges into sweaters. Now there's a realistic proposal.
