Woodstove owners in the Eugene-Springfield area have been pouring on the fuel during a cold snap, and air-quality regulators say a buildup of pollution means the burning has to be curbed.

A ban on visible chimney smoke could last through Sunday, when warmer weather is expected.

The ban imposed Thursday in Eugene-Springfield applies to the urban growth boundary. That includes numerous less-developed areas just outside city limits.

What does the phrase “urban growth boundary” even mean? Is it one of those neologisms invented by the enviro-Nazis?

Pilots fly, gamblers gamble, racers race, regulators control and screw with people.

Somebody in the EPA has some reburn stoves to sell.

That’s what this environmentalism has been about, become a millionaire through regulation.

The smoke-laden air that often occurs in the valleys between the Cascades and the Rockies becomes self-regulating after a while, people need to breathe, too. Weather eventually fixes the problem. Government, once again, is not needed here.

Not going with a bang, but with the proverbial whimper. A fringe lunatic liberal whimper.

to understand what “urban growth boundary” means watch this video: taking liberty.us

That’s been our problem in Fairbanks for a long time. Mostly we call it winter, the environazis call it pollution.

Nobody is going to allow enough of that smoke escape up a chimney to be noticed. LOL!

There is no portion of your life where government will not insert itself.
