Section 304 effectively turns over control of your home to the State. Under provisions in this section, the government will be able to inspect your property, at their leisure and fine you for your lack of environemtnal compliance.
Let me introduce you to a little section of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill called the "Building Energy Performance Labeling Program". It's section 304 of the bill and it says, basically, that your house belongs to the state. See, the Federal Government really wants a country full of energy-efficient homes, so much so that the bill mandates that new homes be 30 percent more energy efficient than the current building code on the very day the law is signed. That efficiency goes up to 50 percent by 2014 and only goes higher from there, all the way to 2030. That, by the way, is not merely a target but a requirement of the law. New homes must reach those efficiency targets no matter what.
What if you want to do your part for The State Gaia and you comply with the Feds more than likely, ever widening list of home efficiency initiatives?
I'll give you a hint: think appliances. Trust me, Section 304 is but a miniscule fraction of the mandates the Democrats want to foist upon you.
Under Cap & Trade, your home and other property you think you own will be under the effective control of the government. To the government controlling of your home, don't forget to add your preferred automobile of choice. Isn't living under our new Marxist Obamalords wonderful?
