I know that there is more than one reader of this blog that is interested in energy conservation, and being that said readers are spread across various states, this should prove interesting. You've probably purchased Energy Star appliances just because they save money, and not necessarily due to some tax credit you may or may not get. But have you considered converting your home to wood-burning heat? If you live in Alabama, they'll pay for your conversion. That said, meet DSIRE: the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency.

For instance, here in Georgia, we have the option to purchase green energy. It costs a bit more, but it (supposedly) comes from renewable resources (e.g. hydoelectric, solar, geothermal, etc). Of course, here in Cobb County we aren't treated to such, but hey, it takes time to get green out here. There's also another incentive that earns you money. The TVA will buy solar- or wind-power from you. Neato!

So check it out, and get greener, both in the wallet and in the mind.
