A handful of home energy evaluators are without work in Thunder Bay because of the Federal election. The evaluators are in Limbo because the Home Energy Retrofit program is set to expire Thursday and can't be reinstated until a government is formed. EcoSuperior's Ellen Mortfield says hopefully the next government will keep the program going because it brings back 2 dollars for every one invested by the government in tax revenues and other spending. Mortfield says EcoSuperior has handed out 3 million dollars in grants through the program since 2007.
