Good Luck Selling Your Home of the Senate Passes Cap and Trade: Bill Requires EPA to Inspect Your Home and Assign It an Energy Efficiency Rating

If the Senate passes cap and trade, say goodbye to more of your private property rights. One of the provisions in the cap and trade bill will allow the government to oversee the sales process of your home.

When you place your house on the market, the federal government will send a bureaucrat from the Environmental Protection Agency to give your house an energy efficiency rating. If your house doesn’t comply with the government standard, you will be required to bring your house up to standard before you can sell it. If your windows aren’t efficient, the government will make you replace them. If your air conditioning isn’t one of these new air conditioners that are not capable of keeping your house cool in the summer while using the minimal amount of electricity the government will decide upon, you will have to replace it. It doesn’t matter if these things are in perfect running order and they are what the purchaser wants. If the government doesn’t approve, you will have to replace these items before you sell them. Freedom continues to die in the United States.
