If it allows for independence, they want it outlawed.

If you think these people actually care about the environment, you are a dullard.

Oh no, I'm fully aware that their attempts to control energy, water, food, healthcare, personal information and property are all pretexts to control PEOPLE.

Commies don't care about the environment at all in their own countries, only in the west.

I, for one, enjoy my Carbon based life. It’s organic....

[WKUHilltopper]

This is America...you’re not permitted to be independent from the collective.

I wonder how much CO2 Hemp pellets would release?

[HereInTheHeartland]

Its always something with these people.

I wonder how bad the forest fires were when the oxygen content of the atmosphere was 30% instead of the current 20.95%.

Pellet stove users cheered for a recent EPA rule by bragging about being exempt from Step 1 of the rule. Step 2 of the rule will shut down pellet stoves in less than five years. The rules was pushed by global corporates (investors in appliances) and local government interests nudging the EPA with sweetheart suits and other pretenses.

Please .... no facts allowed. We will have to burn that message on burning wood.

I keep 12 cords of hickory stored and replenish as its used. Power fails on a cold winter day that pellet stove is worthless as tits on a boar hog.

Stay Safe TG !!

Most public utility investors receive their incomes from government, and they want all of the market share.

I got the littlest one, upgraded with the digital thermostat. It does very well for two to four people. I’ve had it for three months and I use it about four times a week. I think I have eaten tri-tip more times in the last three months than all of the rest of my life combined.

When dead wood decomposes, CO2 is released. When dead wood is combusted, CO2 is released. Amazingly they are about equal. So, it makes little difference if we let it rot or burn it.

If we don't harvest the trees, they will either burn in forest fires, or rot. We SHOULD harvest the older trees in the national parks (turning them into good furniture and lumber for homes, as well as firewood), and plant new trees.

In June it will be a year for me. Got the big one to handle enough ribs to feed 8 (the family).

Have now used it for: ribs, tri tips, steaks, chicken, turkey, ribs, salmon, cornbread, pork shoulder, ribs, corn, vegetables, ribs, swordfish, Halibut, ribs, cheese and did I say ribs?

Only minor complaint: Lack of deep black grill marks.

Climate policy imperatives require dramatic short-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions

The best short term solution would be to have these idiots quit flying all over the world for "Climate Conferences"

I have 19 acres of swamp I use for just that purpose.
