California pauses home energy rebate program amid Trump funding freeze

4 comments

1. California has paused rebate programs offering thousands of dollars to consumers who make their homes and appliances more energy efficient due to a Trump administration freeze on federal funding.

   While a handful of other states also recently halted their programs, California is the largest state to delay a rollout so far — putting $582 million earmarked for consumers and program administration at risk.

   California had issued its first rebate check to consumers in February, according to the state’s Energy Commission.

   “Many states were just getting started on their programs, and suddenly they’re tossed into turmoil,” said Lowell Ungar, director of federal policy at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

2. Yup, this will make America great again

3. I’ve been patiently waiting for these rebates to rollout in my state. Looks like I’ll never see them.

4. I’m fortunate I got my Federal High Efficiency Heat Pump tax credit back last week. Phew.
