Home energy tax credits

In my book, any tax credit is a good tax credit. Giving me tax writeoffs for not buying electricity or energy from the grid? AWESOME.

Turns out the pork-laden bill that Congress passed late last year to "save" our economy (mainly Wall Street) included some big tax credits for energy alternatives on the private, homeowner level.

SWEET!

You can get $1,500 for being energy efficient, $2,000 for geothermal and solar stuff, $7,500 for a plug-in hybrid car, and $54,000 for being a friend of Obama. Among others.

So if you're going green or in the process of doing it or considering maybe doing it, now is the time. Tax credits await!
