A Cash For Caulkers Bill Approval Gaining Momentum
Jul 26th

But, fortunately, I think our government got it right with the proposed “Cash for Caulkers” program. There’s a lot of meat behind this, but there’s also a lot to chew on. Houston Neal, the Marketing Director for Software Advice, says in a great summary of the bill that this proposed piece of legislation provides “$6 billion for energy-efficient or “green” retrofits. It is expected to fund renovations for 3 million families, create 168,000 new jobs and save consumers $9.2 billion on energy bills over the next 10 years.” Not only has he taken the time to put together graphs of the different tax incentives available to homeowners, but I also agree with his “low-hanging fruit” recommendations.
