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.

Or a fire, because you had to close the plume.
Does Mary Jane count?
I guess they’re welcome to freeze in the dark.
What does the phrase “urban growth boundary” even mean? Is it one of those neologisms invented by the enviro-Nazis?
Actions have consequences.
I have a warm and fuzzy.
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.
Burn small sections of your house.
The lunatics are in charge now.
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.

Inside the UGB is where they intend the humans to live after the “rural cleansing” is complete as per the UN, Agenda 21/Wildlands Project.
It’s 42 in Eugene. Thank goodness for global warming.
Where will they strike next? Chimney smoke at the Sistine chapel next time there is a new pope?
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.
When will people have had enough of this oppressive regulation?
This country has gone completely crazy. Downhill from here, folks.
