Stimulus package -- Caps are off!

Updating my post of last week about tax credits as part of the stimulus package:
the caps to the 30% credit for solar hot water, wind power, and geothermal have been removed. Now it is a straight percentage with no limit.

They have also increased the caps for home energy efficiency improvement like efficient furnaces, insulation, windows, and some appliances, and also the fraction from 10% to 30%. This has not been updated at the Energy Star site yet, but I expect they will get to it soon.

There has been an increase in the grants to weatherize the homes of low- and middle-income families (see Weatherization Assistance Program).
