    Hilarious at the end. Paraphrasing, “Can I trust these ratings? I know I can trust them for a tax credit, hahaha, but can I really trust that they save energy?”

    In spite of all the evidence, they are still incapable of thinking outside of their statist paradigm.

    She said the gov is looking to go to 3rd party certifications. The problem is that these private agencies will still be working for the government although it will be regarded as a private/market rating system.
