I'm not sure what this achieves.

Let's assume it is revenue nuetral and your tax refund will offset your increased electricity and heating bill.

All that does is take money out of my pocket for a while and give it back to me later.

If somehow that money ends up sitting in the governments bank for a period of time I guess they'll make some dough.

Will this money be put into so called "Green Programs"?
