I just saw the show.

Shaky science to say the least throughout the piece. They claim in one section that more than 1/3rd of the energy is lost through windows and another 50% from air loss in another section.

I guess wall and attic insulation are only worth 15%? :roll:

At $2,000 per window, I guess you have to come up with your own science.

Serious must have learned the art of incoherent math from their co-CEO Mr. Obama? :P

:?:

The running joke is that Serious has benefited from considerable exposure that has not been afforded every other window company in the US.

Surprisingly, a senior appointee in the current administration is the wife of a Serious Material senior executive. A recently hired senior executive at that.

Nope. That would be Joe Biden.
