I was doing some research in preparation for upgrading my attic insulation, and what do I find?
That, in its wisdom, Congress has decided that home weatherization is a good idea that needs incentives for 2006, 2007, and 2009 ... but not 2008.
That's right. The feds want you to delay energy-conserving, pollution-reducing, job-creating home weatherization improvements until 2009.

I wonder how many people started renovations expecting the credit to be renewed (I did!). I wonder how many of them will be pinching pennies because of this absurd gap. I wonder if they'll be less inclined to "go green" after the federal government leaves a bad taste in their mouths.
The PV and solar water heater credits are still valid in 2008, but I'm waiting until January for the PV because the $2000 cap will disappear. My $20k system will get me a $6k credit in 2009 instead of the $2k credit it would have gotten me in 2008.
