Virginia (WDTN) - President Obama called home insulation "sexy" at a Home Depot in Nothern Virginia on December 15, 2009. His pitch is a part of a plan to to lower the nation's 10 percent unemployment rate.
"Installing new windows and doors, insulation, roofing, ceiling leaks, modernizing heating and cooling equipment is one of the fastest, easiest and cheapest things we can do to put Americans back to work, while saving money and reducing harmful emissions," said Obama.
Obama is calling on Congress to pass incentives for homeowners who have energy efficient homes.
Last week, he advanced a new spending plan that would provide tax breaks for energy-efficient retrofits in homes.
