New Orleans rebuilds with green homes

NEW ORLEANS — In this city on the mend, hundreds of state-of-the-art, energy-efficient homes are being built in lower- income neighborhoods, a trend that's outpacing most of the rest of the United States.


More than 500 green homes are being built with features such as solar panels and rain-catching cisterns in neighborhoods that received the brunt of the damage from the 2005 floods following Hurricane Katrina. Hundreds of other homes are being given green upgrades.
