			'question': '1) The Weatherization Assistance Program<br>http://www.eere.energy.gov/weatherization/<br>One of the nation\'s longest running energy conservation programs is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy. This program for low-income households provides a home energy audit to find the most cost-effective way to increse energy efficiency then pays for these improvements. Adding insulation in walls and attics is a common technique- others are replacing windows, caulking and weatherstripping.','answers': [ 'a) Positive', 'b) Negative', ], 'correctAnswer' : 1, 'questionID' : 878 }, 
			{
			'question': '2) Energy-Efficient Mortgages (EEM)<br>People who are buying a home may be able to get an EEM. This federal program allows some home buyers to qualify for a larger mortgage than they would normally be able to get.

			{
			'question': '3) Tax Credits <br>The oil crises of the 1970s spurred the federal government to let taxpayers reduce their federal taxes up to a limit by the money they spent on home improvements for energy conservation. Each dollar spent on weatherization reduced federal taxes paid by one dollar. While federal tax credit programs are no longer available, some state and local governments continue to offer incentives of this type.','answers': [ 'a) Positive', 'b) Negative', ], 'correctAnswer' : 1, 'questionID' : 880 },

			'question': '5) Excise Taxes [http://www.bts.gov/transtu/ts2/ts2.htm]<br>While they are often established for other purposes, the federal goverment has levied a hodgepodge of taxes on energy-sources that also serve as incentives. For example: A tax on coal helps address problems that stem from coal mining including environmental damage, unemployment when mines close and [worker disabilities]. Taxes on petroleum are used to clean up leaking underground petroleum storage tanks and oil spills. A tax on motorboat fuel supports boating safety. coastal wetlands projects, and sport fish restoration. A motor fuel tax is earmarked for the maintenance and improvement of our nation\'s roads.<br>Since 1990, a portion of this tax is also going to reduction of the budget deficit. In each case, these taxes also increase the price of a fuel and serve discourage the consumption.','answers': [ 'a) Positive', 'b) Negative', ], 'correctAnswer' : 2, 'questionID' : 882 },

			'question': '6) Rate Innovations<br>Several states have experimented with new rate structures that encourage reduced consumption-particularly during periods of high demand. Inverted rates charge more for consumption during peak daytime periods. Likewise, seasonal rates increases charges during times of the year when usage is highest. With interrupted-service rates, utility companies reduce rates if a consumer will permit them to interrupt serving during periods of peak demand.','answers': [ 'a) Positive', 'b) Negative', ], 'correctAnswer' : 2, 'questionID' : 883 }, ],
