		<description><![CDATA[Home renovators who purchase an energy-efficient refrigerator, washer, dryer, or other qualifying home appliance may be eligible to receive a $50 to $200 rebate from the federal government. The money is available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — also known as the stimulus package. But the bigger reward offers homeowners a tax credit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Working near electricity can make even the bravest soul a bit squeamish. No one enjoys getting accidentally “zapped,” especially if your project doesn’t involve any electrical work at all. There are times, however, when basic household repairs can place one close to live wires (example: behind a wall) whose precise location just can’t be foretold. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rising energy costs, increasing concerns about climate change, and an unprecedented financial incentive package in Oregon have made 2008 the time to go solar.

Yes, Portland is sunny enough for solar. The rainy Willamette Valley gets the same amount of average annual sunshine as Germany, which leads the world in solar energy production. The typical solar electric system (also called photovoltaics or PV) in Portland produces around 20% to 30% of a home's annual electricity needs.]]></description>

While the windows of the shop display a jumble of lights, and a retro-looking sign bearing an image of a large, single bulb juts out of the [...]]]></description>

As a result, they can provide the same amount of light as standard incandescent lightbulbs but use only one-quarter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reveal just how hazardous electricity can be to your health and household.

Between 1994 and 1998, there were an average of 406,700 residential fires per year, approximately 69,000 (17%) of which were related to electrical distribution or appliances and equipment. Another 42,700 (10.5%) were related to heating and air conditioning systems. These combined to cause an average of 860 deaths, 4,785 injuries, and nearly $1.3 billion in property damage annually.]]></description>
