I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The soaring price of gas – and our high dependency on it – are at the root of our rising energy bills. The best way to lower energy costs for people is to tackle energy waste through insulating leaky homes, and rapidly scaling up homegrown renewables.
