Thanks for the submission.

I’d assume that you have been downvoted (without anybody saying anything) because it’s a mostly US-centric article and this community is intended to be mostly Australia-centric.

The crux of the article I guess is relevant to all.

President Biden’s landmark climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, takes aim at this issue by allocating $8.8 billion to home energy efficiency rebates primarily for at low- and moderate-income households.

“These rebates have the potential to provide tremendous support, particularly for low-income households, in terms of reducing pollution, reducing energy costs, and making homes more comfortable.”

"These are advanced technologies. Therefore they often cost more, but they save more energy and help save the climate," said Kara Saul-Rinaldi, president and CEO of the AnnDyl Policy Group, an energy and environment strategy firm.

The rebate amounts are a bit more complex to calculate but are based on either modeled or actual energy savings, and increase if you save more energy or are low income.

Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, and South Dakota have so far declined to apply for Inflation Reduction Act funds and could reject the home energy rebates as well.
