Thank you for the information. Have you heard the cash for Clunkers didn't start and stop with cars, the program also applies to appliances. You can get a rebate, until the program runs out of money, of $50 to $250 depending on the appliance you buy. You can check out the government website for Energy Savers, and definitely all Energy Star rated appliances are on the list. Some won't even send you running for payday loans or credit cards, believe or not - and the rebate helps, too. It stimulates some spending, and that is good for the economy - and you get to save money on your power bill. That's win-win-win.
