In most sections of the country the existing energy conservation requirements are borderline sense-making at best. Where do Waxman, Algore, Obama, McCain and the rest of the “save the earth” crowd think all that batt and rigid insulation comes from? That it grows on trees and is harvested, like apples or plums? Or maybe it’s mined and processed in it’s final form?

Of course, I wouldn’t expect such people (including our Hawvud-grad prez) to understand the Law of Diminishing Returns. It’s obviously waaaayyy too complicated for them.

And yes, I do know of which I speak. I had to study the entire subject extensively as a plans examiner, and as a member of our state’s Energy Conservation Board.

I agree with you that its wrong for senators to vote on a bill without reading it. Its not “cool” so don’t put words in my mouth. However, I would up the validity of your post if you told me that you read the bill. All I see is a quote from a slanted third party source. How is anyone suppose to believe you (or your source) when go all Michigan Militia on an issue.

Perhaps if I just read the same amount as the average congress-critter, would that be sufficient dj? Maybe just the having other bloggers give me the Cliffs Notes version just like our “elected representatives” get from their staffers who wade through these massive bills? That cool?

Or if I told you I read the entire thing, every little word and section? Has the validity of my post been somehow secured in your mind. Probably not, since you were attempting to insinuate that had I actually read the entire thing, I should realize that it really is not that much of a big deal and how this bill is simply going to help us all be saved from the looming threat of global cooling global warming climate change climate crisis.

Watch out! The sky is falling, and I need you to give up your freedom and property to my control in order to save you from yourselves…
