Modernizing the U-S Department of Energy is under consideration, which could include eliminating some programs.
One of those is the Weatherization Assistance Program, which has improved 70,000 homes in Nebraska.
State Energy Office director David Bracht says the program makes a big difference in older homes.
Bracht says it’s an economic investment tool.
Bracht says the state is getting about $4.5 million a year from the program
