This is a POWER GRAB. It's not about the health of the Planet. Even IF Co2 caused global warming, Which is DOES NOT, This will only shift where the Co2 is emitted to China & India. They're not going to stop. They'll do MORE because we are not ALLOWED to. Great for Them! They must be loving this!!

Global Warming is a sham. When you can tell me how global warming turned the Sahara from a lush, green paradise into the desolate desert, it is now, then I will buy into global warming. There weren't any cars or factories to cause this!

Nancy - And how are we risking our planet's health? If you are referring to the theory that CO2 emissions into the atmosphere cause climate change, that myth has has scientifically proven false. This is according to a senior research analyst at the EPA. His study was blocked from being published by the BHO Administration and the EPA. Google it and get educated.

Vet, who "scientifically proved" that CO2 emission can't cause climate change? Certainly not the "senior research analyst" at EPA, who is an economist with no background in climate change at all (or in science, for that matter). His paper did nothing but recycle a series of old, long-discredited myths.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Wrap your brain around that.

I just built a house in a county that had "energy requirements". I'll never recoup the money I spent just to save a few hundred dollars a year.
I'd like to see our congressmen and senators have to make the same upgrades to their mansions before they get to sell them -- you can bet they'll find a way out of it!

Dan says several times that this would save $500 per household. How many THOUASANDS or TENS of THOUSANDS would it Cost to get this new house up to the new code to be able to save that precious $500?

Socialism at it heart. Dan is socialist. This country is not. Vote in 2010 for our Constitutional candidates. Sherrod Brown of Ohio will vote for the bill. Find out how your Senator will vote and vote him out if He votes for Cap in Trade. It's not Constitutional.

It doesn't hurt us to know what our "enemies" are up to. Remember, fair and balanced. Of course, I am not a shining example. Whenever liberals and dems start spinning, I quit listening.

All~ I so agree, also what about the housing crisis now? They want people to pay for these improvements, when they can't afford their mortages now?
This is saving no one money! Not all. Stimulus? yeah right...
Why not give that money to us, if they want all this done, give us the money to make the improvements, familys are more important than wetlands mouse, How about that train from vegas to disneyland!

Merrygale~ so agree, Not to mention what about the existing housing crisis?
People can not afford their homes NOW. How is that helping, Stimulas, RIGHT. This a rip off. Why did they instead of giving a mouse billions or a railroad to Disneyland. To this instead of taxing us all to tears?
Screwed we are!

How much will you add to the price of building the property to qualify? That money will also be added onto your mortgage with interest, so the $500.00 year savings probably won't pay for itself.
Thursday, July 02, 2009 at 07:36 PM
merrygale
Oh, right. We'll save $500 with these new standards. But wait. With these new standards, we'll also be paying anywhere from $1200 to $1800. So net savings will still be minus $700 to minus $1300. And that's not taking into account what it will cost to install these price saving standards.
By my arithmetic, we're still screwed.

You're forgetting about the Cap and Trade tax on energy. It'll more than wipe out any 500.00 "savings".
