What President Ronald Reagan did for jelly beans, President Barack Obama is trying to do for insulation.
In comments he made today at a Home Depot in Alexandria, Virginia, President Obama touted home insulation, saying, "Here's what's sexy about it: saving money." The president today also reiterated his call for incentives aimed at getting Americans to weatherize their homes.

It could be a while before Congress passes any cash-for-caulkers program, but in the meantime you can earn a federal tax credit on insulation projects at your home. There are plenty of other ways to cut your utility bills, including weatherizing your attic.
I had Air-Krete (cementitious insulating foam) put in and it made my ceilings sag and collapse. It has a lot of water in it.
