2) The free market makes energy efficiency a priority [by newmark on December 15, 2007]
With oil prices so very high, I would imagine that the new owner of the home I previously owned has put foam insulation in the walls. Having paid $800 per winter in gas bills alone in a home with less than 1000 SqFt, it would now make sense, with oil prices ever higher, that the price of adding foam insulation to the walls would pay off quickly at over $1000 in gas per winter.
