Snow, accompanied by a weatherization expert from Dominion, visited the home of Charles and Martha Donato today to discuss energy efficiency in the home. Snow highlighted the availability of new tax credits for homeowners who take steps to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. "Improving the energy-efficiency of our homes is a highly effective ways of reducing our national energy consumption, which is a priority that the President set forth in his State of the Union Address this year," Snow said. "Guidance for two new tax credits, issued this week by the IRS, will provide incentive and reward for energy-saving efforts." The tax credits described by Snow are part of the Energy Policy Act signed by President Bush last summer. Snow pointed out that "There can be no question that energy savings should start at home – and that's what these tax credits are all about. Homeowners who qualify for these credits will showcase a win-win scenario where precious energy is conserved while families also save money on heating and cooling bills – both goals of the President's Energy Policy Act of 2005."
