There is a rampant problem in the insulation industry called fluffing or cheating. It is where the proper amount of insulation is not installed. It costs the American millions of dollars in shorting of material and billions of dollars every year in wasted energy expense. The FTC has not enforced its regulations promulgated to prevent this problem since 1988. What can be done by an individual or group to 1.) Get the contracted for insulation installed. 2) Force the industry to address this well known problem once and for all.
Voluntary compliance, laws, regulations and codes have had little or no effect over the last thirty years. It seems that legal action is the only recourse. How can it be done?
Dateline NBC aired a story about this problem. The transcript is available at http://www.msnbc.com/news/523773.asp
