President Carter's energy program would require insulation upgrades for up to two thirds of U.S. homes. Federal official John O'Leary said one third lack insulation and another third are poorly insulated, with a 10 year goal. The measures may involve incentives, disincentives, or charges to homeowners and possibly tax credits for self-installation. The package also includes standards for new homes and funding to weatherize 460,000 low income, elderly, and handicapped homes.
