weatherization update

Sen. Lymans Hoffmans weatherization plan is moving ahead. The full Senate just passed the supplemental budget with the $300 million in it. The head of the House, Rep. John Harris, told me yesterday that House leadership doesnt have a problem with the idea. And Palins and her new energy czar Haagenson both said today they thought it was a good idea. "I think its great," said Haagenson.
The weatherization outfit in Fairbanks loves the idea of being able to help more people, and the state corporation that would handle the funds is on board, too.
So there you go. Hoffmans staffer yesterday noted that $200 million for weatherization, $100 million in energy efficiency incentives, and another $200 million chipped in by newly incentivised homeowners, comes to $500 million. Sometimes its easy to have MEGO with budget numbers, but thats the whole sum of the states promised contribution to a gas pipeline project, or half what the state spends on K-12 education across Alaska.
