as replacements? Part of cap and trade is a stipulation that the building code in CA be met before a home can be sold. If you need to replace the toilet, you can only buy toilets that save water. If you need to replace your washing machine and all you could buy were energy efficient washing machines that is what you would buy? Why do the same manufacturers offer both with the old fashioned energy guzzlers at a much lower price than the energy efficient ones?

Soon the only light bulbs available will be energy efficient. Manufacturers can only stay in business if they offer what the people want. Appliances and fixtures only last 10-15 years. Couldn’t homes become green with the free market rather than forcing such expenses on people who can’t afford to do it all at the same time?
