Meltdown 101: Government cash for green appliances

By EMILY FREDRIX (AP) – 2 hours ago

If you missed your chance to get cash for your clunker, you may soon have another shot at getting government money for going green. Just step out of the garage and into the kitchen.

This year's stimulus bill funded a $300 million program that will offer rebates of varying amounts — possibly up to $200 — to buyers of energy-efficient appliances and other products that carry the "Energy Star" label.

The rebate programs are being run by the states, and the details are still being worked out. But unlike Cash for Clunkers, you probably won't have to drag your old stove into the store to get money for a new one.

Here are some questions and answers about the rebates.
