I've been checking, as I'm on a pension and a fixed income.

Check with primary sources, such as the bill itself. I'm convinced these

Among other provisions that control nearly every aspect of our lives,

green building standards of California. Regardless of whether your
house is in Miami, Florida or Bangor, Maine, you'll have to adhere to
the standards used in a state that has one of the most moderate
climates in the U.S. The construction industry is really going to
suffer."

He's wrong. Or at least he is seriously mis-interpreting the bill.


Things in Las Vegas will not work in Two Egg, Florida.

Sure won't. But the bill does not require anything like that.

A National Building Code? Does the bill say that?

The bill requires the development of a national energy building code that sets
standards for saving energy relative to the current international building code,
not California.
