Home Star RetrofitsHome Star Energy Retrofits and Energy Audits

Are you on the Home Star bus or are you off the bus?

Looks like the Home Star Retrofit bill has a vehicle. A ‘Vehicle’ in ‘DC Speak’ is a bigger bill of which Home Star can be a part for passage.

For those of us that want to see real progress on clean energy in this country today, this is our bus. So get on it.

According to the New York Times, the Senate has called off a push for a broad Climate Bill and is instead focused on a more limited bill focusing on Oil Spill issues and will also include Home Star. Hopefully this will couple Home Star together with other sensible legislation that we the people can push our elected officials hard enough on in order to pass.

So ask yourself. Are you on the bus? If so, this means you are making repeated Senate phone calls, talking with friends, blogging, tweeting, whatever you can do  to bring the love and support.  If you aren’t doing that, you’re off the bus.

A few specific actions:

• Call your senator – it takes only 60 seconds, really! They have awesome call centers with courteous, responsive representatives.
• Make sure your company and those that you admire are part of the Home Star Coalition – http://www.homestarcoalition.org/
• Follow the blogs that write about Home Star such as the industry leading blog http://www.efficiencyfirst.org/blog/ – then tweet, blog, facebook like crazy
