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. The standards set the national procedures for home energy ratings. According to RESNET, an audit consists of: Comprehensive Home Energy Audit - A level of the RESNET Home Energy Audit process defined by this standard to include the evaluation, diagnosis and proposed treatment of an existing home. The Comprehensive Home Energy Audit may be based on a Home Performance Assessment (“Comprehensive Home Performance Energy Audit”) or Home Energy Rating (“Comprehensive HERS Audit”), in accordance with the criteria established by this Standard. A homeowner may elect to go through this process with or without a prior Home Energy Survey or Diagnostic Home Energy Survey. Under the RESNET standards ( www.natresnet.org)`for a home audit, the following procedures will become law under the climate bill. 704.1.2.3 The Home Energy Survey Professional shall request copies of utility bills or written permission to obtain the energy use information from the utility company, and use them to produce an estimate of generalized end-uses (base, heating, and cooling). 704.1.2.5. Minimum Procedures for an In-Home Energy Survey: 704.1.2.5.1.1 R-values of wall/ceiling/floor insulation 704.1.2.5.1.2 Square footage and approximate age of home 704.1.2.5.1.3 Type of windows: glazing type(s) and frame material(s) 704.1.2.5.1.4 Type, model number, and location of heating/cooling system(s) 704.1.2.5.1.5 Type of ductwork, location and R-value of duct insulation, and any indications of previous duct sealing 704.1.2.5.1.6 Type of foundation is crawl, basement, or slab 704.1.2.5.1.7 Checklist of common air-leakage sites indicating likely opportunities for leakage reduction 704.1.2.5.1.8 Estimated age and efficiency of major appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and dryers 704.1.2.5.1.9 Number and type of hardwired light fixtures and screw-in bulbs in portable lamps suitable for energy efficient re-lamping 704.1.2.5.1.10 Visual indications of condensation 704.1.2.5.1.11 Presence and location of exhaust fans, and determination of whether they are vented outdoors 704.1.2.5.1.12 Number and type of water fixtures (e.g. faucets, showerheads) 704.1.2.5.1.13 Presence and type(s) of combustion equipment; identification of visually identifiable evidence of flame rollout, blocked chimney, and corroded or missing vent connector. 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. It is IMPERATIVE that you contact your 2 Senators informing them that a yes vote on this bill will mean a no vote to their re-election. Have you done this yet? If not, you must do it TODAY! Click here to easily voice your loud NO before they shut down for the holiday weekend.http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ None of them work on Fridays as it is. - JohnnyV Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:44:49 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200907025303/editorial/celebrating-the-end-of-american-independence.html#comment-2845 [b]JB, what you have described may come to pass, but I think of a General who in the dead of winter crossed a river and defeated an ememy with a bearfoot ragtag army. By rational reasoning he should never have tried the crossing, and should certianly never have won the war. We all know that only by the help of God he was victorious. All I know is that we must continue to fight, trust in God, and in the words of Winston Churchill: "We Shall Never, Never, Give Up". As a last resort, never fight a defensive war, you always bring the war to where the enemy resides. Was that the Patomac River that was crossed?

And, I hear the Colonel loud and clear. But, I refuse to do as you fearfully suggest. I refuse to sit and enjoy this Independence Day while our Constitution and Free Republic collapse before our eyes. I refuse to submit to the outrageous subversion of the "One World Order". And, I refuse to allow my great State of Georgia to continue to tolerate the actions of the current administration and congress without protesting on a scale heretofore unheard of. Your story and the Colonel's letter are going to be disseminated far and wide. I will distribute them. And, given the opportunity, I will recite them to a large TEA Party audience tomorrow evening. Your words will be heard by Georgia State Legislators and then by our US Senators and Congressmen. I don't need more than you've written to get the point across to others. All you need to do is get this story circulated to the major press entities. Get it to FOX News and syndicated writers like Malkin, Krauthammer, Coulter, Wills, Morris, Limbaugh, Boortz and Glenn Beck. Your story needs to be heard. It needs to be read. Please don't stop here. Spread it around. I'll do what I can in Georgia. Thank you. - Dave3200 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:17:21 +0100
