About three dozen states are ramping up programs this spring that will provide rebates on Energy Star-rated appliances. About $300 million has been distributed to the states and territories from the federal government as part of the stimulus package approved a year ago. The size of the rebates will vary from state to state, typically maxing out at $250 depending on the appliance. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
