Welch, Markey and bipartisan group introduce Home Star Energy Retrofit Act
Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and a bipartisan group of legislators on Wednesday introduced the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act, calling it critical job-creating legislation.
Alongside leaders of the 1,000-member Home Star Coalition, Welch, Markey, Rep. Vern Ehlers (R-Mich.) and Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-Calif.) said the energy efficiency retrofit bill would create 170,000 jobs and save families close to $10 billion in energy bills in the next decade.
