New insurance for "green" homes

Green insurance is now available to Georgia homeowners. The policies cover environmentally-friendly homes with elements like solar panels and recycled building materials. The program guarantees that a damaged or destroyed home will be rebuilt with green methods and materials. Georgia joins 26 other states where green insurance is available. About two dozen Georgia homeowners have signed on so far.
