Rebates

Green rebates in the form of point of sale discounts, subsidize the cost of more efficient systems,

The goal of the rebate is of course to bring the costs down to within reach of ordinary Australians to encourage widespread take-up. In the long run this policy saves money as well as the environment. ie. it costs a lot of money to build another power station.

There are a number of really good green rebate programmes available to Australian home owners, from local councils to state and federal government levels. The unfortunate fact is that the general public are not made aware of their existence.
