This is really going to burry the housing market, and the US.


This is what we can expect if "Cap & Trade" legislation is inacted.


We thought we were angry before! This is getting even scarier!

Well read this one, it is all snoped and links are at the bottom of the page.
If Congress strong arms this through America is finished!!! Hope you pass this
on to every single person you know. Our government is totally out of control.

If you own a Home, Read this!!

A License Required for your HOUSE?

Thinking about selling your house. Take a look at H.R. 2454
(Cap and Trade bill), that has passed the House of Representatives and being
considered by the Senate.

Home owners take note & tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!

Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be able to
sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water
efficiency standards of this Act.

H.R. 2454, the "Cap & Trade" bill will be the largest tax increase any of us has
ever experienced.

The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that in just
a few years the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year.
No one is excluded.

A year from now you won't be able to sell your house.

The caveat is, that if you have enough money to make required major upgrades to
your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even
pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are included. In effect, this bill
prevents you from selling your home without the permission of the EPA
administrator.

To get this permission,you will have to have the energy efficiency of your home
measured. Cost $200 to start. Then the government will tell you what your new
energy efficiency requirement is and you will be forced to make modifications to
your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act to comply with the new
energy and water efficiency requirements, which easily could cost over $50,000.

Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license (called a
"label" in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show what your
efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency rating label on
your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a high enough rating,
you can't sell.

And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every year, even
above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the Act.

The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap & Trade
program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") and is
authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he/she
alone determines to be in the government's best interest.

Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress; then the
Administrator can set much tougher new standards every year.

The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for
private and commercial residences and buildings. However, the EPA administrator
can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 Building Retrofit Program
mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy efficiency of all
existing homes across America.

The label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to post the
label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be allowed to sell
your home without having this label. And, just like your car license, you will
probably be required to get a new label every so often - maybe every year.

The government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency of your
home should only cost about $200 each time. Remember what they said about the
auto smog inspections when they first started: that in California it would only
cost $15.

That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the inspection
and certificate; a 333% increase. Expect the same from the home labeling
program.

.....but, what about the polar bears?

As I posted a couple days ago...if we aren't already done in by the bailouts and stimulus. This should do it.

At least we can all feel better about the environment while we live in a one world government.
