IF you own a Home, read this. It will make you SICK!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Henry Waxman are reaching out to the following House Republicans for their support on Waxman-Markey, according to Carbon Control News:

Tim Johnson (IL)

Don't want to be bothered with "Political stuff?" You'd better read this one.
It will come as a huge shock to you if you aren't informed as to what Obama is up
to, and apparently it has already passed one hurdle. It will take very little
now to put it into actual law!! YOU'D BETTER WAKE UP AMERICA ! So you think you
live in a free country, boy have you got a surprise coming.

A License Required for your HOUSE?

If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of this email
is the Google link to verify. If the country thinks the housing market is
depressed now, wait until everyone sees this; no one will be buying homes in the
future.

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. We are
ready to join the next march on Washington ! This Congress and whoever on their
staffs that write this junk are truly out to destroy the middle class of the
U.S.A ...

A License will be required for your house...no longer just for cars and mobile
homes....Thinking about selling your house. Take 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 it is also passed by the Senate, will be the
largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.

The Congressional Budget Office CBO (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. However, once the lower classes feel the pinch in
their wallets, you can be sure these voters get a tax refund (even if they pay
no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus, you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class
have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be needed to bail out
everyone else..

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. 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. 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 .

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. You had better sell soon, because the standards will be raised each
year and will be really hard (I.e., exspensive) to meet in a few years. Oh,
goody!

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 them from qualifying for the grants.

Most of us won't get a dime and will 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. Some of this
money will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each year...

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 will
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. 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) 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.
