Cap and Trade: A License Required for your Home
We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that has
passed the House of Representatives and being considered by the Senate.
This Congress and whoever on their staffs that write this junk are truly out
to destroy the middle class of the USA....
A License Required for your house
Thinking about selling your house? - A look at H.R. 2454 (Cap and trade bill)
This is unbelievable!
Only the beginning from this administration!
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 passed
by the House of Representatives, if also passed by the Senate, 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.
But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has
many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this:
* A year from now you won't be able to sell your house.
The caveat is (there always is a caveat) 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.
* 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.
* 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
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 .
Beginning 1 year after enactment of the 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.
The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand
dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements if you meet certain
energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional
requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants.
You should expect requirements such as "can't have an income of more than
$50K per year", "home selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything
else to target the upper middle class (and that's YOU) and prevent a middle
class family from qualifying for the grants.
Most of us won't get a dime and may have to pay the entire cost of the
retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change you
can believe in."
Sect. 204:
Building Energy Performance Labeling Program establishes a labeling program
that for each individual residence will identify the achieved energy
efficiency performance for "at least 90 percent of the residential market
within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act."
This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S. must be
measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each year to
enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of Energy will
get an additional $20M each year to help enforce the labeling program.
Oh, 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 ;may probably be required to get a new
label every so often --- maybe every year.
But, 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. You can probably expect the same from the home
labeling program.
Sect. 304:
Greater Energy Efficiency in Building Codes establishes new energy efficiency
guidelines for the National Building Code and mandates at 304(d),
Application of National Code to State and Local Jurisdictions, that 1 year
after enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the
National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a
certification from the federal government that their state and/or local
codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building Code
energy efficiency standards.
