Cap and Trade Bill: You Will Not Be Able to Sell Your Home Unless...


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! 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 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.
(snippet)
A year from now you won't be able to sell your house. Yes, you read that right.
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.

  1. All per the elite's plans to directly control every facet of your life.

    All based on scripted and false crap.

    Problem - Reaction - Solution. Always.

    Fake Man Made Global Warming - Reaction is the fear of going glub glub - Solution is the Rothschild banks taking a giant cut from your income for 'carbon tax'. Absolute fraud, outright.

  2. This is just one of many terrifying regulations cap and trade will impose. Add this to the jobs that will be lost and the outrageous cost of energy and our economy will be permanently crippled. Write your Senators and speak out against this disastrous legislation at http://tiny.cc/ZGart.

  3. Every time the banker's minions (our politicians) pass some draconian law the elite see how much resistance is put forth by the sheeple. When there is little or none they know the time is right to add more and more laws to enslave us. The elite love apathy.

  6. This is a good idea in theory, but regulating it this way is a mistake. Electricity is the number one cause of pollution today. And most people could care less.

  9. I have been in the residential energy business for the last seven years. It is shocking to see those who will sell there soul to make a buck. Many are lining up now in support of these regulations knowing that this is just a jobs program and it will not accomplish much due to the fraud that infects the business. I am afraid that socialism is here to stay.
