It's just a matter of time before the US is put in a position to align people... but the people will be so divided, I doubt there will be consensus and further chaos will ensue. The US and teh world are too big to be run by giant centralized government. Give power to the states! -C The US has run amock with inconsistency.

This will also help with our obesity epidemic and drive down health care costs. See it's simple if you just follow a few simple mandates.

I hadn't thought about the regressive nature of this tax subsidy (is that possible??). Only the "wealthy" homeowners can afford this. This is the administration, once again, trying to create a market where there isn't one in the name of "Green Policy". As a friend of mine said yesterday, our schools, government and other institutions mandate new rules of behavior on us and the only reason given is one of two things: "security" or "we're going green". My child's school has just banned the use of balloons of any kind in its effort to "go green". No reason was given. Someone made the decision and the whole school has to comply. Haven't they heard of bio-degradable balloons?? Hello! This energy subsidy is a more indirect way to steer people away from more affordable, available and clean energy sources in the name of political power. Even with the excessive subsidies some jurisdictions are giving for solar panels, you will never realize the energy savings on your home unless you live in it for more than 30 years (if then). The proponents of these programs very slyly avoid the topic of return on investment! A very good point, Gavino. I hadn’t thought about the regressive nature of this tax subsidy (is that possible??).
