VP Joe Biden Unveils Home Energy Efficiency Program
November 09, 2010 3:45 PM
ABC News' Mary Bruce reports:
The White House announced a new federal program today designed to help Americans make their homes more energy-efficient, which Vice President Joe Biden said it would save consumers money and create jobs.
“We believe that retrofitting homes has the potential to save us billions of dollars. And we believe that these projects that we are announcing today will go a long way toward growing an industry and in the process create good jobs for a very good public purpose,” Biden said at a Middle Class Task Force event at the White House this afternoon, noting that the new initiative could create tens of thousands of jobs.
The Recovery Through Retrofit program will enable homeowners to get low-cost energy audits of their homes and federally insured loans to pay for improvements.
“Look, folks, investing in this stuff is the only way to build an economy capable of not just competing in the 21st century, but actually leading, as we have in the past,” Biden explained. “Making our homes more energy efficient, a major part of this, is a no-brainer. It saves consumers money on their electricity, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, it creates jobs. It's all part of efforts to fundamentally reimagine the American economy by fundamentally changing our approach to energy consumption.”
Biden also said that retrofitting homes is “one of the quickest jolts” to move the country toward energy independence. “It is the low-hanging fruit out there. It doesn't require many significant technological breakthroughs to have gigantic impact on our consumption patterns,” Biden said.
Under the new program, homeowners will receive a “Home Energy Score” that ranks their home’s efficiency on a scale of one to ten and shows how it compares to others in the neighborhood. Trained and certified contractors will then estimate how much money a homeowner could potentially save through upgrades and will recommend improvements.
To pay for retrofitting, consumers will be eligible for up to $25,000 in low-interest, federally insured “PowerSaver” loans. The program also sets new guidelines for contractors that identify the skills needed for workers in the retrofit industry.
Several communities across the country are testing the new energy scoring system this fall before it's rolled out nationally next summer.
“I don't want to oversell this, but this is a significant start,” Biden concluded

Under the new program, homeowners will receive a “Home Energy Score” that ranks their home’s efficiency on a scale of one to 10 and shows how it compares with others in the neighborhood. Trained and certified contractors will then estimate how much money a homeowner could potentially save through upgrades and recommends improvements.
To pay for retrofitting, consumers will be eligible for up to $25,000 in low-interest, federally insured PowerSaver loans. The program also sets new guidelines for contractors that identify the skills needed for workers in the retrofit industry.

Just watch this video, and beware that it’s slightly NSFW, depending on where you W.
Huge kudos to James Yu for making this video using xtranormal and sharing it with us.

Guy: Are you a f*cking idiot? What is your strategy for marketing your website?
Woman: I will send a link to TechCrunch. Then, they will pick it up. After that, I will roll in money.
Guy: Oh my God. You just made my brain hemorrhage. I feel myself dying. Are you happy now? Getting featured on TechCrunch does not equal product success. Getting sustainable traffic and revenues is.
Funny because it’s true. But please don’t stop starting Web startups and sending us links.
We can’t guarantee that you’ll roll in money afterwards, but if your Web startup is viral and game-changing enough, we just might do a post about it.

If you are yet to find out genuine ways for making money online, then GPT sites or as it may be called "Get paid to complete offers" sites can be excellent choice for earning online as these site offer lots of free money to make. So continue reading -
What are GPT (Get Paid To) sites?
GPT sites are actually sites that offer genuine ways for making money online completing offers or surveys.
These sites may also be called Get paid to sign up sites because in most of these sites, you have to earn money for signing up in other programs that advertisers offer.
As normally GPT sites are called "Get Paid To" - so it can easily be understood that you will get money for doing something for others(advertisers). You might have to do lots of things what advertisers say, like trying products, doing surveys or signing up for programs, depending on what site, you are using.
Why Gpt sites are one of the best ways for money making online?
Most people would say that these sites are great to make money because they don't tend to be scam. Because the site owners will pay you from what advertisers are paying them. So if you don't complete an offer, advertisers will not pay them. So they will definitely pay for to get paid by the advertisers.
So you have chance to make hundreds of dollars a month even working one hour a day working with a few GPT sites.
Still nowadays many GPT sites are being scam? So you need to be careful about how to choose a genuine GPT site.
How to get started with GPT sites to make money online:
- I will suggest you make a email id. This id will be used for joining GPT sites. As you will be using not only one GPT site, you will need to have a different email account, because most of these sites will send you mails containing important information or special new offer or other details. So if you have a different account, you will be easy for you see them, don't mess up.
- Before joining any Gpt site, you must read their "terms and conditions" page. It will help you to use the site better. Remember although all sites are "Get Paid To" sites, but there are differences in their way of usage. So before joining, you should know what to do and what to not in the site.
- Always remember, most GPT sites approve only one account per household. So you can not make more than account in one site. If they find you out, your account will be canceled.
- Never ever try to complete an offer that you have already completed. Although most of the time when you will try complete same offer, you may not be able to do that and you will be informed the reason - "You have already completed this offer", "try another offer". But there are many GPT sites are there that don't have that benefit.
- Always complete offers correctly. Do not make any mistake while doing them. Otherwise you will not be paid for your mistakes. So while completing an offer, see what you are actually required to do. Complete each and every offer correctly and make money with your convenience.
- Now think about getting paid from these sites. Most GPT sites give payment through Paypal as it is available worldwide and an easy way to pay. So if you don't have a Paypal account, make it quickly. It is free to have an account with Paypal. Some GPT sites also offer payment through checks or gift cards.
- Lastly i will suggest you clear your cookies after completing each and every offer.
Try to use GPT sites for paid offers. You must have a credit card to complete offers. It's an excellent idea to use paid offers because those will earn you much more money than other offers. But while using Credit card for completing an offer, you must be sure you are using a genuine site.
I guess, almost everything has been said about how to start with GPT sites to make money for you. Hope, even if you are a beginner, it is now clear to you what GPTsites actually are. So start using GPT sites and make money.
