 Cash for Appliances
The government plans to roll out another rebate program much like the clunkers.
But you're not going to actually trade in your old dishwasher, water heater or fridge. So in that way it's different from the wildly successful Cash for Clunkers. But it's similar in that it aims to stimulate a lagging sector of the economy and clean up the environment at the same time.
But the U.S. government hopes to get the economy rolling again. That's why $300 million is being offered to get Americans to junk old, inefficient appliances for Energy Star-rated new ones; $50 to $200 rebates will be offered to try and do for the appliance business what Cash for Clunkers did for cars.
