'Utahns for Responsible Burning'

Bet they'd burn a Christian or a stack of books at the stake in a HEARTBEAT! ;)

Morons.

Vermont is full to the brim with Greenies, but fortunately they love their wood stoves. And their guns.

But people would be allowed to use their fireplaces in the summer. And who needs heat in the winter with all of this global warming. Folks need to move out of the valleys before rising sea levels flood them, anyway. The lowest point in Salt Lake City is less than a mile above the current sea level.

Are you talking about THIS sentence? And how we shouldn’t let this get in the way of a good argument? ;)

“...except for homeowners whose homes are heated solely by wood.”

I hope they have a way to save the massive organ in the Tabernacle. That thing is awesome!

But, I digress...

Sounds like a great idea to me.Burning wood only in summer would be far more logical and responsible.

Sounds like something that would be difficult to enforce.

At some point, enough freedoms are lost that it’s time for another revolution........actually, we have less freedom and more taxes now than the early colonists did when they started what birthed this nation.

Guess what? From the 1700’s well into the 1900’s, everyone heated with either wood or coal......

Additionally, it exempts households whose only option for heat is wood burning.

For now...

We heat with wood but have a natural gas back up. The wood is free from my inlaws land (lots of free firewood)..

Why pay for gas?

The city can stick their head down my chimney, IDK.. I’m gonna burn the near free firewood.

Thank god they have not banned it here. yet.

If this isn’t a site for a wind farm, I don’t know what is!

If the downdraft, which keeps the ‘pollution’ in the valley, is THAT STRONG, then why not harness it? Just tip the blades in the opposite direction!

Hells Bells! I’ve flown into Mexico City a dozen times - EXACT SAME problem there, but I don’t see any wind farms harvesting all of that downdraft!

Instead of p*ssing off the Kennedy Crime Family with blades that obscure THEIR Ocean View, why not find EVERY valley on the planet that has a downdraft and harvest electricity from there?

But, I’m just an uneducated sap who has NEVER seen how a windmill works...or DOESN’T...on the farm. *SMIRK*

the same cities and counties that have huge waste to energy incinerators seem to be the same ones that don’t want the rabble saving a few bucks thru burning firewood, which is a huge effort in the getting, the splitting, and stacking....

If this is anything like Denver, and odds are it is, the pollution does not come from either car exhaust or wood burning, but gravel laid on streets when it snows. Denver instituted a program to aggressively clean up streets after snow falls, and it has largely fixed Denver’s brown cloud.

Heated solely by wood means nothing. Just a meaningless sop. There probably aren’t three houses in SLC without some sort of heat besides wood. Its a burn ban for 99.9% of the population. And there are people who have heat but burn wood and have a need to do so.

No, this is not over reacting because of one retarded “exemption”.

We had a woodstove and cut our own wood for years. Dirt cheap to operate. But now after a move we have have only gas and pay nearly $500 a month just to stay warm.
