Analysis: Outdated U.S. Lending Rules Abet Inefficient Homes, High Energy Bills, Climate Change

Washington, DC—Hundreds of thousands of new homes purchased each year with federally backed loans and programs are built to outdated energy efficiency standards, saddling low- and moderate-income households with needless energy costs and raising greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new analysis released today. Other new homes backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have no limit on energy waste. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) found that if regulators regularly update efficiency requirements for the homes, they can create one million job-years of work, reduce total costs by $29 billion, and avert carbon pollution equivalent to that from 67 million passenger vehicles in a year.

Enjoy your killer heat bubbles.

John Doe seems to think that everybody except him is a troll. The post was tedious, technical and off-topic, but none of that makes Fred Bloggs a troll - he might qualify as a bore if he wasn't tedious and technical about such a wide range of topics, but none of it is actively malicious or personal - in the way that John Doe's posts always seem to be - so it isn't trolling..

The business of managing a big operation like the U.S. is too much for you.
