The Obama administration presented their Home Star "Cash for Caulkers" program earlier this year, a program which will hopefully contribute to green up the nation's homes, as well as putting unemployed construction workers back to work. According to the Scientific American the program will "will pay you up to half the cost to retrofit that gas-guzzling house of yours for up to $4,000 and in the process put a quarter of a million unemployed construction workers back to work lowering your energy costs and carbon footprint. The $23 billion dollar program should retrofit at least 6 million houses, and put a dent in the 17% unemployment rate in the construction industry".
