Not long ago I received an email that obviously set out to scare the bejeezus out of every homeowner. This email stated that the Cap and Trade legislation passed by Congress would require EVERY existing home to meet new energy standards before it can be sold.
Ah come on. Homeowners are one of the biggest interest groups out there. The proof for how much power this group wields is the fact that no one dares to interfere with the mortgage interest deduction. We homeowners are a muscular bunch, and no one is going to mess with our ability to sell our homes.
But don’t take my word for the falsity of the claim. Here is what Snopes.com has to say about it–
