During a press conference today, Representatives Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Vern Ehlers (R-Mich.) and Dennis Cardoza (D-Calif.) introduced the House version of the Home Star program, which is already under consideration in the Senate (S.3177, The Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010). The Home Star program, which would provide immediate rebates up to $3,000 to consumers for energy efficiency upgrades to their homes has be gaining broad-based support from legislators and has a coalition of over 1,000 companies and organizations supporting it - including Fresh Energy. The legislation is slated for a committee mark-up tomorrow in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Take a second to tell your legislators that you want them to pass Home Star.
