I just heard this morning that one of the provisions in the new "Facist Fed Control" bill (Cap and Trade) is, if you want to sell your home, a federal inspector will first have to check it for energy efficiency. If your home doesn't comply with the "new" federal standards, you will have to update your home before you can sell it.
This means new windows, doors, and air conditioners for all homes older than 3 or 4 years. How many thousands will you have to cough up to move now?
Oh yeah, fannie mae, and HUD financed homes are exempt from the new regs.
