Am I missing the point

Homes are to be given an energy rating much like the white goods you buy today.

What next, a report that tells you how many bricks are in your house?

You can bet your butt that the government will introduce a tax that varies depending on the efficiency of your home.

I can see where you are coming from, but say I got given advice that my home was leaking energy like a cracked culinder then I would know that it is costing me boatloads of money and so I would have an incentive to make changes.

Yeah, I agree, but rather than have it enforced on me, I would like a choice of whether I pay for it or not. The choice is pay for it or you can't sell your house isn't it?

Yet another cost to the public where the government can extract yet another shekel.
