On Monday, the Senate will begin debate on the Democrap’s horrifying Cap and Trade bill, the one that even environmentalists hate because it won’t reduce pollution. What it will do, however, is create an army of energy nazis who will perform an “energy audit” on every home in America. If you don’t pass the audit…fines ($2000 for the first violation) and possible legal charges await you. If you don’t pass the audit, you can’t sell your home…which the Census bureau has already, or will soon, GPS the coordinates of. (Section 202 of the House bill.) Atlas is Shrugging hard.
Cap and Trade, if not stopped in the Senate, will irreversibly concentrate even more power in the Executive branch of government, and will cause massive inflation in every part of our economy. Our legislators love to pass unpopular bills while America is busy with holiday doings, and they’re hoping you’ll still be shooting off firecrackers instead of paying attention. Don’t forget, the legislation in 1913 that created the Federal Reserve was passed over Christmas.
Cap and Trade will audit every aspect of your home and life. What will be involved in a home energy audit? It is an intrusive visit made by the bureaucrats at the Home Energy Team or a similar group. They will examine and report the way you live your life directly to RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network). Light fixtures, socket types, spas, hot tubs, windows, appliances, walls and roofs will all be under review. Energy tests will be conducted throughout your house. At the end of the visit you will receive a report and a rating. The report will focus on the changes you need to make and the rating is called a HERS rating (Home Energy Rating System). RESNET will perform the audits through authorized contractors. RESNET has adopted the Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating Standards.
Under the RESNET standards ( www.natresnet.org)`for a home audit, the following procedures will become law under the climate bill.

them to produce an estimate of generalized end-uses (base, heating, and cooling).

Obama SAID he’d create a million green jobs, and if this insanity passes you can see where they will come from. An army of Green Shirts regulating the lives of every American.
