There will never be enough rope to hang them all, but we should try.

So, how bout I insure my home and then burn it to the ground. I get the money to rebuild it, but instead I sell the property and rebuild my house somewhere else.
How will that work?
It should work very well indeed, if your goal is to land in the penitentiary for arson and insurance fraud.
That's one way to do it, anyway.

Another thing is that the less energy you use, the more FEEs you will pay
to keep up the infrastructure, so there will not be any savings.
Overall everyone will pay the same no matter what your usage is.

NO other TV station has reported on it yet and until they do, it will be business as usual.
Remember that it took MSM a couple weeks to begrudgingly report on the ACORN scandal, and it was based solely on some video by two kids as evidence.
Climategate is treasure trove of bad codes, bad science, and bad behavior.

I know about it. That is why I want to sell now. I don't think it has passed yet. My Realtor told me not to worry about it. I don't trust Realtors too much either.

My brother *IS* an appliance repairman, and he is most explicitly NOT going to get rich from anything the 0bamites could dream (draem, deram ?) up. He’s a “typical white boy’, just trying to do an honest day’s work for an honest wage.
Your inference that appliance repairmen are going to profit from some infernal conspiracy is even stupider than the 9/11 gang.
Do you really think that every appliance repairman (there must be at least 50 THOUSAND!, of ALL races in North America) is part of your contrived idiocy?
You must have attended publik skool.

I was merely trying to point out another consequence of the Cap&Trade bill. I would hope that the appliance repairmen would try to repair as long as parts were available.
I wasn’t inferring that anyone would get rich! Remember, these are the “spread the wealth” folks. There WILL be some who will go for the bounty ( or whatever it is called - a friend read it and told me about it.) Just like NOW, there are some unscrupulous folks out there who would turn a fuse upside down and tell me I needed a whole new A/C unit.
I most certainly did NOT attend publik skool.
To: MaxMax
Really. But they will probably put a giant tax on houses that fall victim to fire.

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. The label is exactly that. "Energy Star" for homes. For now it's voluntary, or one of the many strings tied to gubmint (OUR) money. It also applies, for now, to new construction only.
I attended a session recently where Sam Rashskin the EPA bureaucrat in charge of the Energy Star program was talking about the upcoming 2011 (V3) program for homes. It gets even more draconian than the previous versions. The guy had absolute glee when he was talking about the ultimate goal for this iteration of the standard. Behavior Modification. I was glad to be in the back of the venue. I did not want to be tempted to punch him in the face.

Well know that I wrote about it, it would be a bad idea. Sometimes you have to think these things all the way through.
