		<title>RSS Graffiti Rocks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was using Twitterfeed on all of my various web postings and web real estate and, frankly, I wasn&#39;t happy with it. &#160;I want to give a huge shout out to RSS Graffiti, a Facebook app that allows you to connect a site feed directly to FB. Coupled with Feedburner to spread your messages across [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing the Asheville Insulation System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Having spent more time in Asheville attics than any sensible person would stomach, we&#39;ve seen it all. &#160;Many times over. And we&#39;ve installed it all. &#160;Fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam, sealants and caulks, insulation dams, radiant barriers,&#160;kneewall backing, whole-house ventilation, the list just goes on and on. Lo these many years, the one thing that&#39;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great news! &#160;Conservation Pros has just become a certified installer of Velux skylights and Suntunnels. &#160; If you&#39;ve never seen a Velux Suntunnel in action, you have to check these things out. &#160;The whole shebang can be installed in a matter of hours and looks just like a flush-mounted ceiling light fixture, except that it&#39;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>New &#8220;Thirty Years War&#8221; over energy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting article from CBS about the possibility of a new Thirty Years War over energy preeminence. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/06/28/opinion/main20074960.shtml?tag=mncol;lst;1]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t mess with Texas&#8217;s light bulbs, Y&#8217;all!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They don&#39;t like them ol&#39; squigly bulbs down in the Lone Star State and, dangit, they aim to keep making bulbs like Grandpappy used to have. &#160;And, in fact, his Grandpappy and, quite possibly, his Grandpappy before him. &#160;That&#39;s because the incandescent light bulb has has precious little evolution since it was made available by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Green jobs? Nope. But it&#8217;s not all Obama&#8217;s fault.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Darren Sameulsohn has penned article over at Politico that seems to suggest that Obama&#39;s green energy and green jobs campaigns have been little more than prattle and empty promises. &#160;To a large extent, I agree with that sentiment. &#160;However, as someone who&#39;s carefully watched the entire process, I can tell you that it&#39;s not entirely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you clueless about energy efficiency?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Consumer Electronics Association seems to think so. &#160;Their white paper, which can be had here for a mere $999, suggests that you people don&#39;t get it. &#160;Of course, I didn&#39;t buy the white paper, either. &#160;I read about it at Forbes.com. &#160;And you can, too. &#160;Scroll down to the bottom to read Conservation Pros [...]]]></description>

		<title>So what if you didn&#8217;t make the improvements, claim the tax credit anyway!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, the IRS has no way to properly police the Energy Efficiency Tax Credits. &#160;According to an article in Bloomberg, &#34;Auditors sampled 150 tax returns and found no record of homeownership associated with 30 percent of that group. The auditors also found instances in which prisoners or people too young to purchase a house were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solar Energy Headed Behind the Woodshed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the Obama administration did its best to get incentives for energy efficiency but failed miserably. &#160;Now, support for solar energy and other forms of alternative energy is also in jeopardy. &#160; Apparently, venture capitalists are running scared from all things solar. &#160;Why? &#160;It&#39;s a business model that&#39;s entirely propped up by federal dollars. &#160;Were [...]]]></description>
