Crying Out For Voluntary Cooperation, But Willingly Voting, I Bet

If only they could stick to their stated principle…

Yesterday, the local paper had an article about an impending energy code the State of Michigan desires to enforce on home builders.  As I perused the article, the following comments by Lee Kitson, Vice President of the Michigan Home Builders Association, caught my eye.

“Home builders say they have nothing against energy conservation—many already exceed guidelines slated to take effect Monday.

They just don’t like having the rules force-fed, said builder Lee Kitson, an expert in energy-efficient houses.

My view personally is there are pieces of this that make sense, but they ought to be voluntary,” said Kitson, vice president of the Michigan Association of Home Builders. “This code is not voluntary. We object to that process and to the options.”

Can’t see the forest for the trees.

“Energy code frosts builders”
