I would like to go back to the point Senator Boylan made about the hub controllers and their eligibility. Do the witnesses stand over the figure of a 36% for the reduction in heating need? That seems a very significant reduction for the very low cost that is involved. The witnesses referred to an 80% grant for attic and wall insulation, but if there is that sort of saving to be gleaned from heat controls at such a low price, it would seem justified to promote heat controls perhaps with the 80% support.
