New Law Can Save Consumers Energy, Money, CCH Says
Consumers should be able to save energy and money, too, if they're in a position to take advantage of provisions of the nation's new energy law, according to CCH INC. (CCH), a provider of tax and accounting information, software and services.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides more than $14.5 billion in tax breaks -- the overwhelming preponderance going to businesses -- over a 10-year period to boost conservation efforts, increase domestic energy production and expand the use of alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, ethanol, bio-mass and clean-coal technology.
