Re: Stimulus plan brings tax breaks to homeowners

The H&G blogs are abuzz about an article that appeared in last Saturday's St. Petersburg (FLA) Times: Stimulus plan brings tax breaks to homeowners.

The article details the new government incentives available to homeowners who upgrade their homes to cut energy consumption; or add high quality energy saving systems to their new homes.

It doesn't have much to do with kitchens or baths. But money in your pocket to do something most people are planning anyway makes a lot of sense.

Read it over and compute how much money you can save by saving energy. Below are the product categories covered.
