“This rebate program will help Floridians buy appliancesd atdiscount rates, lower utilitty costs and benefit Floridq businesses by stimulating sales of energy-efficient appliances,” Gov. Charlie Crist said in a preszs releaseMay 18. Althouggh the bill was signed last week, the projected time for the prograk to be administered is probablyy sometimethis fall. Consumers will not be eligible for the rebates until then because some of the detailzs of the program still need to beworkesd out, said Jeremy Susac, the executive director of Crist’ Energy Office.
The specific amounts for the rebatez must be approved by the legislative budget and Crist’s office is still waiting for guidances from the federal government on how exactly the progran will work, Susac said. The FECC is expectinb Florida toreceive $18 million in federal stimulus funds to provide the rebatwe program. In addition, the Florida legislaturwe is giving $150,000 to the FECC to help them put the plan into All of this should help Floridians save 20 percenrt on the costof energy-efficient appliances. “This is what we are Susac said.
“We are lookinfg at 20 percent all across the With the 20percent rebate, consumers could save $290 on $200 on washing machines, freezers and dishwashers, $65 on room air conditionerw and $40 on dehumidifiers. Only laundrt and kitchen home appliances with the Energy Star labekl will be eligible for the All Energy Star appliances meet strict energy efficiencg guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agencyand U.S. Department of but certain items like flat screen televisions are not Susac said.
Even though they use the most energy out of all the home certain kitchen itemslike microwaves, ovens and stove tops are also not included because they have yet to be regulated by Energhy Star in the United States, said Michael Setzer, the owner of Setzer’ds appliance dealer in Jacksonville. Energy Star appliances do cost an averageof $50 to $100 more than the standarf versions because of the advanced technologies, he but the rebate should lighten the making it almost cheaper to buy the Energ Star product. “You don’t have to spend $1,00p to have an Energy Star,” Setzer said. “Energyy Star has cheaper models now.
I have a $300 dishwasherf and a $800 refrigerator in my store that are allEnergt Star.” In addition, the investment will cause consumers’ utilitu bills to go down in dollar amount. Customerss should recover their costs ofthe energy-efficieng appliance on their monthly bills within five to six According to Energy Star’s Web site, thei r appliances can save consumers $75 a year in energgy costs, and they use 10 to 20 percent less energuy and water than traditionapl models, making them better for the environment. For a front-loading Energy Star washing machinew uses 16 to 18 gallonxs of water versus thetraditional top-loading appliance that uses 40 gallons.
“Ij don’t know if our sales will go up becauswe the customers will still have to put out the full Setzer said. “But any increase in sales will be and it would be a great thing for people to get theifmoney back.” Business has been slow durin the economic downturn at both Setzer’sa locations here in Jacksonville and Ocala, but it’s stilo going pretty steady because peoplse are always going to need refrigerators and he said. In addition, 75 to 80 percent of the appliances he sells areEnerggy Star, so Setzer said he’s very hopeful.

Montgomery County officials in hot seat for Hilton move - Baltimore Business Journal:
guronelogoh.blogspot.com
Monday wasn’t much better, as membersx often took a sharply critical tone as they questionee the effectiveness ofhis department, which has $19.6 milliohn in funding. Ganguly was in the hot seat for an oversighgt hearing from the committee that superviseseconomicx development, but several other councilp members attended as well. Council member Rogerd Berliner, D-Potomac-Bethesda, questioned why the Montgomery/Maryland incentives packager at $2.4 million was significantly smallef thanthe Fairfax/Virginia offer of $4.6 million to lure “To my perspective, this was critical, to play with our best foot I don’t feel we did.
” He questionecd whether Montgomery’s department, which has 50 full-time-equivalentf employees, is overstaffed, and therefore doesn’t have enougg cash to make rich offers. “Fairfad County and Montgomery County are not Ganguly protested, noting that his department includew the staff for the agricultural preserve, as well as workforcr development through unemployment centers. Committee Chairmahn Michael Knapp (D-Upcounty), agreed with Berliner. “We’ve got to brinhg our A team to everyg thingwe do. I’m not convinced we But he urged Berlinerf to hold his fire until Tuesday when the council was scheduled to meet in closed sessionh to rehashthe loss.
Nancy Floreen, (D-At Large) said the report, whicu suggested the department needed to do bette r inidentifying priorities, didn’t go far enough. “I don’t have any sense whatsoever what the department ofeconomic development’ds goals are. It’s everything,” she said. “When you’rwe everything you’re nothing, as far as I’mj concerned.” Council had denied the department’s requesy for $150,000 for a feasibility study to build asports arena, but this reporf mentioned that the department shifted funding to do the study just the and that could be a capital project in the Her voice dripped with incredulitt as she asked, “We’re still going after the arena?
Is that an economi c development priority of Montgomery County Only at-large Democrat Marc Elricy was sympathetic. While he agreed with Berlinedr that it made no sense to spensd more on bringing Live Nation to downtown Silver Spring than bringintg Hiltonto Bethesda, he said Montgomery Countu has a healthy economy and is not driving majot businesses away. “The county has virtually no unemployment,” he said.
