As White House, DOE, Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) Push for What MHARR Says is Costly, Unnecessary MH Energy Standards, CBS Poll Results Should Be Considered; plus MHVille Markets Update
The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) has not framed their proposal as “support” for what they themselves have called a harmful and costly Department of Energy standards for manufactured housing. But the Washington, D.C. based Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform publicly accused MHI of throwing an unmerited “lifeline” to DOE when MHI proposed an alternative to DOE rather than standing with MHARR and others who believe the DOE plan is fatally flawed and possibly tainted by corruption. MHI has not responded to the criticism and analysis, posted below. With that manufactured housing connection in mind, the following “Earth Day” poll was conducted by CBS and is reported on and analyzed by WND NewsCenter. On a day when the manufactured housing equities were broadly down, following this report will be the Daily Business News on MHProNews market report and headline news recaps for 4.22.2022.
As Earth Day turned 53 on Friday and Joe Biden flew across the nation in his personal 747 to deliver remarks on the occasion, Americans ranked “climate change” as last among a selection of the nation’s top priorities.
A CBS News/YouGov poll found the economy was the most pressing issue, followed by inflation, crime, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, immigration and climate change
Fully 76% of the respondents said the economy should be a high priority and 73% said inflation. But only 39% ranked climate change among the top priorities.
When asked if “climate change” is a pressing issue that should be solved “right now,” 49% said yes. But one year ago, the figure was 54%, representing a decline of 6% under President Biden, who has made climate change a top priority.
With issues like the economy & inflation, crime, and the war in Ukraine weighing most on Americans’ minds, the % who think climate change needs to be addressed right now has dipped some from one year ago. https://t.co/xnC4993y7Qpic.twitter.com/EsWIlQuTHJ
President Biden flew Thursday evening to Seattle, where he deliver Earth Day remarks Friday morning.
In a speech at Seattle’s Seward Park, on Lake Washington, Biden declared “we’re spending billions” to make military vehicles climate friendly.
“In the U.S. military, every vehicle is going to be climate-friendly. We’re spending billions of dollars to do it,” he said amid the highest inflation rate for consumers in 40 years.
See Biden’s remarks:
In Seattle today, @JoeBiden says “we’re spending billions” to make military vehicles climate friendly.
This while American families are suffering under 8.5% inflation, and the average American household is spending $5,200 more on the same basket of good this year than last year https://t.co/sCFvMDsyFo
Additional Information, more MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief
During the White House Listening Session on 4.20.2022 certain statements were made by Biden Administration officials and at least one of the presenters that suggest dealt with energy rather than manufactured home lending. Yet the CBS News/YouGov poll cited above suggests that interest in climate spending is waning as inflation and the southern border are on fire, due to policies put in place since Biden occupied the White House.
A coalition of ‘red state’ state attorneys general were involved in the court case that resulted in a temporary stay that was recently overturned by a full en banc hearing by the 5th Circuit Court. Next steps are in motion, per sources, to continue that path of resistance to the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) notion which some sources say undergirds the DOE energy rule plan for manufactured housing.
Nothing less than the battle for access to the American Dream of home ownership is at stake for potentially millions who could be priced out of possible manufactured home ownership, based on a formula devised by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
The 2019 Priced Out research is found at this link here.
MHI has openly taken a stance that fits the MHARR allegations, and which supports the evidence that they have been slyly supporting the DOE energy rule for years, while posturing opposition to a DOE standard they have admitted is too costly. The withering array of evidence and facts have placed MHI and its dominating brands into a difficult box that caused one of their insiders to erupt in a tirade of profanity against the Arlington, VA based MHI. Once more, neither MHI, their communications people, nor their outside attorneys have denied the accuracy of the various reports and analysis, nor have they bothered to reply to inquiries.
