EU To Ban Construction of Ordinary Family Houses by 2020



A passive house is essentially an ugly cube that covers its energy needs by a perpetual motion machine or something that has the same carbon footprint. Also, it's super perfectly isolated so that the CO2 you exhale by breathing will never get out of the house. The EU apparatchiks see another advantage in the passive houses: if you fart thrice during a harsh winter, you will either suffocate or freeze which will reduce the population growth.

Found on internet, must be real.
 
All this shit is outlined in the UN's Agenda 21. Read it, learn it and be aware.

It would also behoove you to accept that Alex Jones is a shill. His mission is to act like a concerned, maniacal patriot that points out all the problems to wake you -the ordinary citizen - from their slumber and make a stand.

But in reality, he does no such thing. He harps on one subject, then another and screams on and on about how he proved this and that three years ago, WITH GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS no less.... blah, blah, blah.

Here's the thing: HE OFFERS NO SOLUTIONS! NONE PERIOD!

Alex Jones is the other side of the coin, occupied by John Stewart and Steven Colbert. A steam valve meant to provide a non-threatening outlet for the masses.

Thanks for the information, I had never heard of this guy (Alex Jones) and assumed he was a shill.
 
WTF??

This is ecological legislation that means homes have to be zero emission by 2020. We've been moving towards it for years in the UK, and it causes no problems.

We've had energy efficiency certs for years, and I love them. It means you can tell whether you're going to be freezing your ass off in your new home or having to pay $3000 a year just to heat the place.

They are not "banning the construction of 'family homes'" - if that was the case no member state would have voted for the directive (and yes, all directives coming out of the commission have to be endorsed by the heads of the member states).

The directive is merely tightening up energy-efficiency regulations - so when a new build goes up it needs to be as energy efficient as possible.

It's a good thing. It should mean lower fuel bills for those who buy those houses.

Plus there's the whole "energy security" aspect of it.

Most european homes are heated with gas, and there are just two sources - the North Sea (controlled by Norway and Britain) and Russia. North Sea gas is running out, and that means the whole continent is vulnerable to Russia playing games. A while back they switched off the pipeline to Ukraine - but it's the same pipeline carrying gas to the rest of Europe and onto Britain across teh channel, and there were gas shortages and price spikes. Then there was the incident in 2007 when Belarus switched the oil pipeline off in a dispute with Russia and it caused problems with oil going to Poland and Germany.

I've no doubt the EU's directive is in direct response - the more energy efficient we are, the less these people can jerk us around.

This.
 
Thanks for the clarification. It also eliminates the option to heat your house yourself with wood for instance.

Burning wood and coal would fall foul of the Clean Air Act.

Remember that Europe is CROWDED - we have more people in the EU than in the USA, but geographically it is a third of the size.

Back in the day when people were allowed to burn what they liked in crowded cities, thick poisonous smog would build up, and it used to cause lung cancer and kill asthmatics - as well as putting a horrid film of soot onto your clothes when you went out.

Britain's clean air act was passed in 1956, way before we even joined the EU. It was in response to the Great Smog of 1952 which killed 12,000 people.
