Given $50,000, some 24 percent of those surveyed "dream green" and would purchase insulation, double-paned windows, solar panels and energy-efficient appliances, according to the bank's third annual U.S. homeowners study. Twelve percent of those surveyed wanted state-of-the art chef's kitchens, and 11 percent sought luxury master bedroom suites or master baths. Wells Fargo expected that the first choice would be for improvements that would only be aesthetically pleasing or add size or value, said Doreen Woo Ho, president of Wells Fargo's consumer credit group, in a statement. "However, we found that Americans are showing signs of becoming more environmentally aware and want to take actions that save money, help preserve the environment, as well as add value to their home," she said.
