You can’t help but notice the $130.8 million that is going to Texas for weatherization assistance programs!  That’s a lot of energy audits, windows, caulking and insulation.

Kudos to Kansas City, Missouri for creating the “Green Impact Zone” to create jobs and to improve energy efficiencies.

Can any of you find Arkansas on the illustration?  What is up with that?  Perhaps the information needs to be updated.

You can download the graphics here.
