SAVANNAH, Ga. --- President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to pass a series of rebates for people who take steps to make their homes more energy efficient.
Obama says the Home Star program would reward people who buy insulation, water heaters or other energy saving equipment with an on-the-spot rebate of $1,000 or more. The president says the plan would not only save Americans money on their utility bills, but would also create jobs and reduce America's dependence on foreign energy sources.
Obama announced the program during a speech at the Savannah Technical College, where students learn how to install energy efficient equipment. The administration is hoping the Home Star plan will be as popular as last year's Cash for Clunkers money-back program for autos.
