Canada Plans Green Audits of Homes

(Toronto, Canada) The plan to require pricey "energy audits" is currently for homesellers' information only. They won't be required to do anything unless it's their desire. Logically, though, how long will it take before energy auditors become energy enforcers?

Ontario residents won't be able to sell their houses or condos without first getting a home energy audit -- which now costs about $300 -- under the proposed new Green Energy Act.

That's one of several measures in the legislation unveiled by Energy Minister George Smitherman to boost incentives for electricity conservation and encourage renewable sources of energy.

It's drip, drip, drip as environmentalism morphs into Marxist utopianism.
