Senator Harry Reid has announced that the Climate Bill, which contains the Home Star program, will not receive a Senate vote before August recess, meaning the program will not come to a vote until September after Labor Day at the earliest.  Congress has been unable to agree on other provisions of the Climate Bill, relating to BP oil spill liability, which has delayed the vote on the entire bill.

Home performance contractors have been crossing their fingers that the Home Star program would gain federal approval before the end of summer.  For many contractors, the long delay in the passage of Home Star has left many retrofit projects on hold, as homeowners hold out for these federal incentives.
