Jamie Swise, a Chicago-based weatherization expert, said President-elect Barack Obama made his job a 
whole lot easier when during a recent debate he urged Americans “to weatherize” their homes to save energy.
Obama made the appeal at a presidential debate last month before his election in response to a question about sacrifices his administration would ask Americans to make during these tumultuous economic times.
“Here you have the soon-to-be president of the United States stressing the importance of weatherization,” Swise said after the election. “He’s got a lot of people thinking about how weatherizing their homes can help save energy. You can’t beat that.”
