Bipartisan HOME STAR Bill Introduced in the U.S. Senate

NOTE: This article suggested by Kurt Kenning of Ultimate Energy Solutions, LLC 219-661-1743. Kurt is a member of the Indiana Renewable Energy Association.

The Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010 (S.3177) was officially introduced in the Senate yesterday, marking another important step in the legislative process that could establish a powerful new retrofit incentive
and financing program for American homeowners. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, a Democrat, but has already gained bipartisan support, with South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham and Virginia Democrat Mark Warner signing on as cosponsors of the legislation.

The bill now resides in the Senate Finance Committee.

Efficiency First is actively engaged in supporting this important legislation, and we encourage all members to let their Senators know how HOME STAR can help us revive America's troubled construction and
manufacturing industries, keep energy costs down for American consumers and scale back on harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
