RetroFit to Be Tied
Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 3:14PM 
The orginal announcement from DOE about awards for their Retrofit Ramp-up grant was originally scheduled for March 15th. As the deadline came and went, applicants shared their antsiness. Ten days into April, I developed a pain in my neck which would not go away. Turns out to have been a sign from Kali, the multi-limbed, Hindu patron goddess of bureaucracy. The Long Island grant application from one of the leading, operational retrofit programs in the country, poised to ramp-up, was about to be chewed-up and spit out by the sausage factory down in DC.
Don't take my incredulity for it. Here's what a 25yrs energy efficiency practicioner of national note who actually wrote two of the Retrofit grant winners had written after declaring that the grant language sounded as if it had been written for the Babylon program:
*12/11/09- “Dorian: I am convinced that your proposal will be the strongest from the mid-Atlantic states, mostly due to Babylon program. I am working on three RRU proposals.”
12/15/09- “Dorian: WOW! I’d say you will win going away!”
4/13/10- “GOOD LUCK in RRU. I don’t know about you, but I am a nervous wreck waiting. I continue to predict your proposal will be among the winners.”
So I drank the Kool-Aid of Original Intent in the DOE FOA language which anyone can read in our grant section. And for those academics who have an interest in post mortems, both the operational LI app and aspirational NYS/NYC apps can be found for comparison sake in 'Grants' along with a couple of others, including a very intriguing proposal from Seattle. Note, for example, that while hundreds of retrofits have been done on LI, NYC wouldn't be extending its first loan until eleven months in. Oh, and there is also a graphic PPT, "Thriving Without" that visualizes our perspective on the process.
My wife said, by way of consoling, "Now you know what Al gore felt like." Yeah, those blasted @#%*! activist judges.

I'm not so concerned that the muffler is belching jizz, but just that it is belching any color viscous _fluid_ is a bit disturbing, for a muffler. That's just me.
