Today Realty Timesran a story about how the NAHB is trying to keep Congress from federalizing the state building codes and to keep it market driven.  I couldn't agree more!

Frank Thompson, a Pennsylvania home builder, "urged lawmakers to remove a provision in energy bill H.R. 3221 that would create a new code-writing role for the Department Of Energy for states that fail to achieve significant above-code benchmarks."

Competition and public demand are the answers, not more big government.

 I agree. More government is never a solution. BTW- I visited your beautiful state a couple years ago to trail ride/drive cattle/fly fish. A little town called La Vita. Very pretty.

Either way with energy costs going up it is a given that the free market will drive investment faster than tax incentives and rebates. Lance
