Project WARM volunteers
|
||
retrofit and insulate old
|
||
folks' homes by the
|
||
thousand. This sharply
|
||
reduces energy costs and
|
||
deaths from the cold. The
|
||
cost amortizes in two
|
||
winters. Only minimal
|
||
tunds are directed to such
|
||
sound expenditures in
|
||
western society. It is
|
||
always cheaper to
|
||
conserve rather than
|
||
gernerate energy. Such
|
||
projects make many
|

dangerous or dirty power ’
|
||
generating systems '
|
||
obsolete (eg. nuclear
|
||
power).
