Green is great, but it's very expensive.
Anyone know if there are city programs to incentives homeowners to "go green" ... green roof, windows, etc.
Unless there are incentives or tax breaks, I'm unlikely to shell out the big bucks for a 7+ year payback.

I was too lazy to actually go ahead and read the fine print about tax incentives, but I did post a couple of things on my blog for less lazy people to take advantage of...

Thanks. Goo dinfo but the incentives are a joke:
"Existing homes are eligible for a series of efficiency measures. There is a $500 cap on the credit per home."
"According to the SEIA Guide to Federal Tax Incentives, "an individual cannot use the residential credit to reduce his income taxes below the level at which the alternative minimum tax kicks in."
Sweeeeeeeeet, only $500 and I can't even use it if I hit AMT levels ... worthless.
Fewer bombs more green tax breaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
