More Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage in Waxman-Markey

There are actually Davis-Bacon restrictions in 5 places in Waxman-Markey. Check out pages 103, 267, 293 and 549 and 1024. On page 1025 They say that Davis-Bacon doesn't apply to retrofits of existing homes. They don't mention new homes for some reason.

You can peruse the Davis-Bacon rates here: http://www.gpo.gov/davisbacon/allstates.html

A bricklayer in Orange County,CA gets $46.11 an hour in wages and benefits, while in Orange County,FL they get $12.50. It looks like your renewable energy expenditures will go a lot further in Florida than California.
