As I suspected for a while, this is going to be a problem getting people to go green. According to the article below, 36% wont go green because of the high cost associated with it. I believe the government needs to help out! Front the costs and make homeowners pay them back as they are saving money! What do you think?

Article:

"The cost of environmentally friendly home
makeovers was the top concern of 2,300 homeowners polled with intercept
surveys by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, with 36% citing
expense as the main deterrent.

Homeowners also cited concerns
about potential inconvenience (22%) and lack of time (17%); these
result echoes previous polls which found consumers consider "green"
practices, at both the personal and national levels, as economic
tradeoffs that costs them more. On the other hand, 18% said they were
prevented from going green by lack of knowledge, indicating there's
still an audience for information on eco-friendly practices." Read Rest of Article
