WASHINGTON, D.C. - Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana introduced a bill Tuesday to help homeowners and business owners save energy and cut energy bills.
The Clean Energy for Homes and Buildings Act will make low-interest loans available for energy-efficient building upgrades and provide financing and credit support available for local energy-efficiency programs.
