Home ownership is more expensive than ever today. Plus, the cost of fossil fuels is climbing again and will likely continue until the time comes when there literally is no more to be had.
Doing everything possible to reduce our use of energy in the home goes beyond our desire to keep U.S. dollars here at home. It's imperative that we do everything we can to support new technologies that are aimed at removing our reliance on oil and other resources that at some point in time will just run out.
Fortunately, the federal government is seeing the light on these issues. And because of our rather lackluster economy, the government is now offering a multitude of incentives aimed at encouraging homeowners to invest in upgrades and home improvements.
The goal is not only to help reduce our use of fossil fuels, but also to provide an avenue for homeowners to make longterm money-saving improvements to their most important investment: their homes.
There is one problem with having this long list of incentives that TV commercials and news broadcasters have seemingly addressed in a rather piecemeal manner...how is one to know if they've heard about all of the possible homeowner-related tax breaks?
