Before the housing crisis was the incredible number of new housing starts, residential areas are going up all over the place in California, Nevada, Arizona, Florida and Texas. Yes, in many other countries as well, but these are the ones that really took off. During this time the government calls for more energy efficiency, and wanted these homes to be equipped with better insulation, dual-paned windows, doors and properly dressed crowd to keep the heat or air conditioning depending on time of year it was. Ok, so we'll talk about it for a second shall we?
It seems that every time a house price increase is because of these additional attributes such as energy efficiency, it is harder for people to qualify for loans to purchase homes. That meant fewer people could buy homes, which means fewer people can achieve their American dream - this idea that owning a home means that you have arrived and are successful in life. It also helps with buy-in, because you have an interest in the country and society.
If you remember only the original landowners have the right to vote because they had an interest, the skin in the game, and something to lose if the leadership of the country not to run things properly. Homeownership is good for America, and it's a good feeling for those who feel like they own a part of our great nation. As I said, it is wrong to lay down the house fitted with more insulation or energy-saving components for preventing people from homeownership.
Unfortunately, I do not think we learned our lesson, and it seems to be doing the same thing again. Let me give you an primjer.Mercury News in San Jose had an interesting article recently posted on May 30, 2012 titled: "California is ready to require solar roofs ready 'to new houses and buildings," by Dana Hull, who said;
"California Energy Commission approves the energy efficiency standards for new residential and commercial buildings that will come into force on 1 January 2014th Host common-sense standards designed to save energy by insulating hot water pipes to make sure that the installation air conditioning air flow enough to check the standards would also require new homes and commercial buildings have a "solar Roof" - ready. reserve that will be a boon for the country is growing on the roof of the solar industry. "
What am I unhappy about this is we just slapped huge tariffs on Chinese made solar panels and solar cells. This means that solar panels cost more, and thus the return on investment last longer. That means fewer people will be buying solar panels, and yet will have to pay an additional $ 1,500 for all hardware and electrical wire and electrical elements of the roof on your new home purchase. This in turn increases the cost to purchase a home, and it seems that it was just a bad decision.
Yes, the other day I was talking to Starbucks about how hard it is to wire an existing home whether it be for an optical fiber, electrical outlets, additional piping, or anything else. Copy the holes in the wall can cost an enormous amount of money, and it's much cheaper to do it, and the house is being built. However, it still costs money, and how many of these homes will ever have solar panels, but the individual in the home will be paying on the loan for the hardware that is installed, the equipment that they will never use. How to help our citizens?
At some point we must stop treating alternative energy as a kind of new religion, as we have with global warming. We must do things for the right reasons, not prescribe new regulations on each industry to create a utopian society is predetermined. In the future, roofs should not be connected to electrical systems for solar panels for solar panels can be layers of paint with a stick electrodes which then gets transmitted wirelessly and energy goes to a receptor.
This is the future of this technology, so why build a house right now with contributions by current technology, which is changing rapidly and will not be the same in five years, but this house will stand for probably 50 years. Actually, I hope you will think about all this and think about it.
