The White House is considering a new “Cash for Caulkers” plan that would provide rebates, subsidies and incentives over the next two years for homeowners to make energy efficiency upgrades to their properties. The program would be called “Home Star” and would be funded by $23 million of federal money.
The proposed program would subsidize half of the cost or up to $2,000 of any home energy efficiency improvements. There would also be a subsidy of up to $4,000 for homes that receive upgrades and lower energy use by at least 20 percent.
White this program is still in the preliminary planning stages, it is a piece of news to follow closely in the coming months.
