I think this is a great stimulus. My son put a new furnace & central air in his house b/c of the rebate and we have just replaced a 50+ year old furnace and a few windows to take advantage of it. My question is, will this be available next year too? I’ll spend $5K/year to increase energy efficiency in my home as long as I can if I only have to pay $3.5K for it.

I spent $5,000 for a metal roof and insulation on my 60 y/o house. When i applied for the energy tax credit, i found out that i don’t qualify due to the fact that i’m on disability, and don’t have a taxable income. It’s people like me that need that rebate…not the people that can actually afford to fix their homes because they work…i didn’t ask to be sick, and yes, i DO miss being able to work.

This kind of credits those not create jobs but it inject money into economy. People will buy stuff to weatherize their home but will not employ people to do the job. Unless people change their climate control appliance.

Is that the weatherization of the obama stimulus plan ? How do we get info on waetherization and the benefits of it, and how to get the money to weatherize our homes and buildings ?
