Energy Efficiency: Your key to bailout cash?

Could energy efficient projects be the key to getting some bailout cash?Need a new water heater or air conditioner?

So you aren't going to qualify for any bailout money or a mortgage modification? You could still find yourself claiming some bailout cash if you plan to upgrade your home with any of a number of products that enable increases in energy efficiency. For example, if you are replacing windows, adding a new AC unit or a water heater, for instance, you could claim a 30 percent tax credit up to $1500 for your effort.

Have bigger plans, such as adding solar panels to your roof? The credits are even far greater (more).

4.0 percent mortgages for all Americans

Why not?

Just watching CNBC and a guest suggested a 4.0 % mortgage for all Americans with a mortgage. I like it. Isn't this the kind of transparency and simplicity that politicians should strive for? Besides, isn't this the best way to treat the mortgage mess?
