As of December 31, 2007, most of the consumer tax credits expired.

You have until April 15, 2008 to report these credits on your 2007 taxes. Legislation to extend the tax credits was proposed in December 2007, but did not pass both houses of Congress. Congressional leadership has said they will look for opportunities to move this legislation in 2008.
