By the end of 2010, Allstar Products will have sold 25 million "Snuggie" blankets, the equivalent of one for about every 12 residents of the United States, the New York Times reported the other day. It occurred to me that, by allowing people to turn down the heat in their homes, this one private company, without any government help, has probably done more for carbon emissions reduction and energy conservation than a lot of the heavily subsidized alternative energy programs into which Washington is pouring billions of taxpayer dollars.
