Even poor people get double-paned windows
I highly doubt that. If they really are poor, meaning they only have enough money to provide the basic necessities, I doubt that energy efficient windows and HVAC units and such are higher priority than basic food, clothing, and shelter.
Sure, these things pay for themselves eventually, but the upfront cost is quite a bit of money that can better be used to eat this week.
Prius C costs all of $17K
A used gas guzzler might cost all of $1K, or less.
It used to be a 10% deduction for $500, up to the lifetime of the house. A drop in the bucket.
Not much for a rich person, but unattainable for a poor person.
