Will Obama's "Clean Energy Corps" Perform Mandatory Home Inspections?

Mandatory home inspections could be performed by Obama's Clean Energy Corps if the controversial Climate bill is passed through congress.

The National Service bill, which Obama signed in April, established a "Clean Energy Corps" under AmeriCorps that is tasked with performing - among other things - home energy audits as part of their "national service". As the act states, the Corps is charged with "conducting energy audits for low-income households and recommending ways for the households to improve energy efficiency." As job losses accelerate daily, "Green jobs" are increasingly being offered as an alternative to the gutted American economy.

The original national service bill stated that service would be mandatory, but the language was later removed and added to a separate piece of legislation, HR 1444. As originally stated, a commission would be set up to investigate,

“Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”

Along with the establishment of the Clean Energy Corps, the recent American Clean Energy and Security Act will make home inspections mandatory for all homeowners in the United States.

Armies of bureaucrats and young Energy Corps workers could be knocking on your door soon.
