Sometimes the old peepers need a little rest. This is where National Public Radio comes in handy.

Click here to listen to a report from NPR’s All Things Considered about how President Obama’s economic stimulus plan will reserve about $5 billion in federal aid for home weatherizing projects. This will, in turn, create homegrown green jobs, save energy and slow global warming.

And if you feel like giving your eyes a bit of a workout after listening, read about a similar, insulation-centric effort that's underway in the UK.
