...also be part of a national effort to encourage all Americans, not just the poor to conserve energy. Such a multi-faceted program would include such as measures as the following. The Department of Energy estimates that any homeowner can cut his energy consumption by 25 to 40 per cent with an investment of $60, spent on water flow restrictors for faucets and showers, insulation for water heaters, caulking for doors and windows, and similar measures...
