Jon Stewart of The Daily Show recently discussed the federal low-income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) which aired on October 24, 2011. Unfortunately, the information provided was misleading and, in some cases, factually inaccurate. Weatherization works, both for the households served and as a sound government investment. Throughout its history, WAP has made a huge positive impact on over 6.7 million families. The program provides significant energy savings for its recipients, makes America?s housing stock more energy efficient, improves the indoor air quality while reducing health and safety risks, provides jobs, reduces carbon emissions, and lessens America?s dependence on foreign oil.
