   Not sexy, but criticalWow! Your article gets to the heart of a huge issue. While not a sexy subject, the problem of old, energy inefficient, lower income housing deserves great attention, and solutions.
   First, because it will lead to substantial reductions in energy use, and hence GHG emissions. Second, because there is the opportunity outlined by Van Jones in his Green Collars Workforce Project, of giving jobs to many of the same people living in those lower income housing. This is a win-win proposition. I know Barack Obama briefly alluded to it in one of his speeches.
   Thanks for your thorough review of the problem.

   A new frame of C&T, is better?[For all these reasons, cap-and-caulk is a better complement to climate dividends than a substitute for them. ]
   
   That is true.
   
   I search a comment on a new frame of cap-and-trade, is it better?

   Navy ShowerThis is like shutting the water off while brushing your teeth, except on a larger, dirtier level. I like it, though it does pose an implementation problem if you have to wait for the water to get heated.  A ten minute shower can use up to 60 gallons of water, imagine how much could be saved if we you didn't have to wait for the water to heat up?
   On a side note, the real estate company I work will be featuring guest bloggers with a bent on turning our homes and offices green make sure to check it out.
