Progress on Home Star!  Stay tuned this week for more news as Home Star is introduced in the Senate this week.  Here’s the latest from Efficiency First:

Have you seen the news? Earlier today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that HOME STAR will be included in a four-part energy bill to be introduced in the coming days. It’s the first time Majority Leader Reid has said specifically that HOME STAR will be included in upcoming legislation. Scroll down for his full statement.

“This is a BIG deal,” said Matt Golden, Efficiency First’s Policy Chair. “This bill can pass, and we need to all get behind it for one last push to see HOME STAR through.”

Majority Leader Reid is on board with HOME STAR, and we need to have his back. Next week, we’ll be asking all of you to contact your senators again and help get HOME STAR passed — but right now we have to expand our network of support even more.

Help us grow the HOME STAR Coalition: just forward this email to other companies in your contact list, and ask them to join. Here’s the link for them to sign on:
