"The cap-and-trade bill recently passed by the U.S. House of
Representatives, for example, is a bold assault on property rights: in
order to sell your home—whether built in 2006 or 1772—you would have
to bring it into compliance with whimsical, eternally evolving
national “energy ef?ciency” standards, starting with a 50 per cent
reduction in energy use by 2018. Fail to do so and it would be illegal
for you to enter into a private contract with a willing buyer."
