Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Department Funding Threatens Your Home In The Name Of “Climate Change”

You will own nothing and be happy. These infamous words from Nazi “mini me” bad boy Klaus Schwab have been taken to heart by Beijing Biden and his administration. In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Stephen Milloy posted the new FOA (Funding Opportunity Announcement) from the Department of Energy where was has been declared on single family homes. Here is the actual document (DE-FOA-0003056: INFLATION REDUCTION ACT OF 2022 (IRA) ASSISTANCE FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE LATEST AND ZERO ENERGY BUILDING CODES). These zero-energy building codes and assistance for implementation are part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by Joe Biden.

The entire Office of State and Community Programs (SCEP) can be read here. It is a large document and has to be downloaded. It is worth downloading and reading. You will discover in reading the document that this will apply to “existing buildings” – commercial and residential. A copy of this document will be sent to attach for archive purposes.

As seen in the X post by Steve Milloy, the fourth paragraph begins, “Building energy codes establish minimum levels of energy efficiency for new and existing residential and commercial buildings.” When perusing the SCEP document, Topic 3 is found on page four. It states, “This Topic Area is to provide funding to States and units of local government that have authority to adopt building codes for the adoption and implementation of certain innovative building codes, including certain building performance standards (BPS) for existing buildings or stretch codes for new and renovated buildings. Codes eligible under this Topic Area must be measurable, verifiable, and enforceable.” This confirms the sentence in the Department of Energy FOA.

Biden launches war against single family homes:

1. The Department of @Energy announced a $530 million grants program for states to change building codes because of global warming.

2. Green energy building codes would force new homes and buildings to be pointlessly more… pic.twitter.com/vIrQbREnEg

What does this mean? It means that States and local governments can apply for “assistance” to establish and implement new building energy codes for new and existing structures, residential and commercial, that meet the “latest building energy codes, zero energy building codes, or equivalent codes or standards.” Moreover, “This opportunity assists eligible entities in further decarbonizing their buildings through the adoption of the latest national model building energy codes, zero energy codes, other codes that deliver equivalent or greater energy savings, including innovative approaches to decarbonize existing buildings through certain measurable and enforceable requirements.”

So, through this further bribery of State and local governments to adopt energy codes, compliant with Jinping Joe’s “climate change”, green energy “policy”, State and local governments could implement new building energy codes affecting existing single-family residences, meaning those structures would have to comply with the new codes.

Being married to a builder of residential and commercial structures, who is now deceased, all new construction had to comply with current building codes and regulations. Older homes, built before the current codes were established, were always grand-fathered in, meaning those homes were not required to “upgrade” to the current codes. Granted, owners of older homes routinely upgrade electrical wiring, HVAC, and plumbing and in some cases will upgrade insulation, if possible, when it is not cost-prohibitive.

This could all change should State and local governments choose to adopt the new energy codes and fail to grand-father in older structures. Could this lead to “condemnation” of such property? It is possible. In the State of Georgia, a home can be condemned for zoning and building code violations. Check with your State to determine if there is such a provision. Therefore, if the State of Georgia adopted these building energy codes, as well as the local governments, AND older homes were not provided a grand-father clause, the house could be condemned for violation of the building energy code. At that point, the owner would have to leave (cannot live in a condemned home in Georgia), correct the violations, and petition for the condemnation to be removed, AFTER an inspection.

For many homeowners now struggling to survive and elderly homeowners, this could create a scenario where the “violations” may be cost-prohibitive. At this point, the homeowners and their family would need to try and sell, which creates a new scenario where they would have to upgrade the structure, market a condemned home, or take a lower amount due to the cost of the upgrades. If the cost of the upgrades decreases the selling price too much, the homeowner could be looking at a sale way below market value, meaning a loss and inability to procure another home. This does not take into account any “penalties or fines” leveraged for failure to upgrade to the “new” energy codes or costs for new temporary living arrangements.

Another option would be to sell just the property the home occupies for the value of the land. If there is a mortgage attached, this could be less than the current mortgage, meaning the balance would need to be settled. The issue of abandonment could also come into play as well as foreclosure due to the inability to pay a mortgage on a home that can’t be occupied while paying for other accommodations.

Remember, the State and local governments can adopt these codes, hire additional inspectors using these “grants”, and send these inspectors out to “inspect” homes for the new code violations. For homes built prior to the establishment of these new building energy codes, it will automatically mean code violations without an inspection. How could a house built prior to the adoption of the code be in compliance with the code?

As a disclaimer, I am NOT an authority or “expert” in this area. This is for information purposes ONLY. Always check with your local and State building authorities (I don’t like using that word in relation to government, but no others fit well.)

What the Biden DE is doing is facilitating the eradication of home ownership through coercing/bribing State and local officials to adopt building energy codes that can be used to eradicate home and small business ownership. Local “Mom and Pop” businesses could see additional astronomical costs in trying to bring their buildings up to the “code” – costs the business may not be able to afford. Remember, this would apply to “commercial” buildings as well. This is all in line with “you will own nothing and be happy” Klaus Schwab and the globalization agenda.

Think of all the current structures where you live that would be in violation. It would be all of them.

In essence, this can be seen as a land grab to move people off their property for government, non-government organizations, non-profits, corporations, etc. to take possession of privately owned land. It could be used as a way to garner land for “green space” in order to comply with the United Nations Global Sustainable Developmental Goals, Agenda 2030 filth. Moreover, it could also mean a way to house illegal alien invaders to secure a voting block for implementation of a communist “state” before they are targeted.

Where would these newly created homeless families go? As it just so happens, the government has prepared FEMA camps for “emergency” use or government could “insist” families live in a 500 sq. ft. zero energy building code box.

All this lunacy for something that doesn’t exist – man-made climate change.

At this point, we the people have to be proactive at the State and local government level to oppose these codes for new and existing residential and commercial structures. We have to also make sure that current structures are given a grand-father clause should State and local “servants” decide to participate in this lunacy. It’s coming to your front door, friends.
