What I am understanding about the efficiency part of the stimulus is we as a state must enact the IECC 2008 building code for both commercial and residential buildings and have a full plan to get results.
WV is currently under the 2001 commercial code has no residential code and no plan to enact one! The national Sierra Club has some info on this and also the DOE at this address http://www.energycodes.gov/
As for conservation it looks like coal has won "planting trees on mine sites". And some items that I sent in the email yesterday.

Looking at the Gov's website for stimulus information:
So far not a cent listed for efficiency, conservation, weatherization, public transportation, etc.
One can only hope those are yet to come...
