What are our Priorities?

According to the National Priorities Project, the COST OF IRAQ WAR is:
$11 million per hour,
$275 million per day,

TOTAL: $406,592,561,811 and counting

According to The Census Bureau there are 111,162,000 households in the US.

If the average energy efficiency upgrade for a home is $10,000, then we could insulate EVERY HOME in the US in just 10 hours...

...with just the money we spend each day on the war.

We import 13.15 million barrels of oil per day.
By doing these energy efficiency upgrades, we could save 15% of that, or some 2 million barrels a day.

That is more oil than we import from Saudi Arabia (about 1.5 million barrels/day).

Imagine being free of Saudi Arabian oil.
