Georgia residents who make their houses environmentally friendly with solar panels and recycled building materials can now get homeowners insurance specially designed for "green" homes.
State insurance commissioner John Oxendine announced Tuesday that his office has approved the first-ever green homeowners insurance policies in Georgia. The program -- through the California-based Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. -- 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. Fireman's officials say about two dozen Georgia homeowners have signed on so far.
