Obama Plans to Introduce Legislation Offering Incentives for Energy Improvements to Homes
Energy efficiency and greener building practices have begun to take hold across the Country, spurring incentives that warrant making home improvements to existing homes as well as better practices for building new homes. Currently President Obama is considering federal incentives to homeowners who make energy efficient improvements to their homes.
President Obama had said that energy efficiency “creates jobs, saves money for families, and reduces the pollution that threatens our environment. With additional resources, in areas like advanced manufacturing of wind turbines and solar panels, for instance, we can help turn good ideas into good private-sector jobs.”
Providing incentives to home owners to make their properties more energy efficient will not only help the homeowner but help the economy, seen as two major players in exiting the recession that has affected our Nation’s economy.
The possible legislation could provide 50% rebates up to $12,000 in incentives for product costs as well as installation costs of energy efficient home improvements that could include appliances, insulation, solar products and more. The legislation is in the planning phase but is something Obama is planning on introducing.

This is just going to be cover for a large tax increase. They will come out with something like the TEFRA Act of 1982 that promised $3 of spending cuts for each $1 in tax increases. The only problem is that we will get the tax increase but never the spending cuts. That is what the Democrats did in 1982.
