"Green building" is becoming increasingly popular in home and commercial building construction. Buildings in this country are energy hogs, consuming more energy than cars and trucks by a two to one margin.

Many Americans associate "green construction" with higher prices and inconvenience. But the cost of environmentally-friendly technology -- such as energy-efficient heating and cooling, solar panels or better insulation -- has dropped. And there are more tax credits for building green, too.

We've been here before: after the oil shock of the 70s. Everyone seemed to be going green then -- but that was short-lived. This Hour On Point: the green building boom. ... is it here to stay?
