Newsweek has has a story on the federal Weatherization program ("Obamas big green mess") that I explored in this post last week. It seems that other states were not as successful as Minnesota in implementing the program.
The $5 billion nationwide low-income home weatherization program has seen more than a few problems. Newsweek notes,
"In one review, Energy Department investigators found that 14 percent of weatherization projects surveyed, from Tennessee to West Virginia, failed to meet safety or quality standards."
The upshot?
"The administration is trying to change the narrative on its green record. But the appetite for another round of federal aid is waning, especially as pressures grow on Congress to cut the U.S. deficit."

Update: my inside sources tell me that Minnesota indeed exceeded its goals on the Weatherization project. Congrats to all involved!
