Regulation for Zero Emission New Buildings
Mar 11 2008, 4:37 AM EDT
The federal government should initiate national 'new building' regulations in agreement with state governments (and specific to each states' climate requirements) to ensure all new buildings have a 5 star emissions rating. All new homes should have water tanks, 'as required' water heaters and appropriate insulation for each climate situation. incentives like the solar panel rebate should be continued and expanded. 4  out of 16 found this valuable.

Existing environmental regulations are already a contributing factor to the cost of housing. Your suggestion would have an even bigger impact on housing affordability.

Aside from that, it's a violation of property rights.
