This link has video of Rep Boehner's analysis of a last minute amendment to the Cap and Tax bill passed by the House of Representatives on Friday. I have have only watched half of it, and, I confess, it is boring and long (over an hour). But the bill is so far-reaching that you owe to yourself to watch it.

One of the provisions of the Cap and Tax bill is that all residential structures must meet energy efficiency standards before it can be sold. But never fear, the federal governement will give you a tax credit for up to half of the cost (which will easily exceed $10K for the smallest of dwellings).
