Won’t be holding my breath for NY state. We have a wood stove with with a catalytic combustor. I’m sure they will find a way to outlaw it. IDIOTS.

I guess it will come down to a situation similar to guns, i.e. you will have to resort to building your own for your own personal use so the EPA won’t be able to control it.

The GOP needs to start talking about how we are in a historical CO2 drought and that we need more CO2 in the air.

From a post I made on a different thread just now

I am beginning to think that the Founding Fathers could not fathom the level of criminality we have in the officeholders today when they crafted the Constitution. Being patriots who had just won a war for independence, they could not have understood the kind of people who would follow them and have planned accordingly.

With all due respect to mom & pop, please consider the following material previously posted in related threads.

As a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are being taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, citizens do not understand that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues.

So while we need to take care of the environment, I sometimes think that constitutionally ignorant citizens DESERVE to be walked all over by the unconstitutionally big federal government.

Also note that the Founding States had made the Constitution’s first numbered clauses, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative (regulatory) powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the EPA. So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not.

But by unconstitutionally delegating federal legislative powers to non-elected bureaucrats, Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers, powers that it actually doesn’t have in the case of intrastate environmental issues, from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above.

Actually, wood stoves are “carbon neutral”. The CO2 they release is quickly absorbed by growing trees — and this cycle can continue forever. You’d think that self-proclaimed “environmentalists” and global warmists would love wood stoves — but, I suppose they hate people more than they love the environment.

Those yahoos couldn't care less whether it's a wood stove or a septic system or a nuclear power plane. They're about control and don't really care what the vehicle is (or about "the environment" they use as their rallying cry).

While it looks kind of “Hippie” on the surface, for those who burn wood for heat, I strongly recommend a “rocket stove”.

Importantly, it is true that it uses a LOT less fuel, around 80% less than an iron stove. And their design could be integrated in your home design in such a way that it would likely escape the notice of the “fireplace police”.

Great point. The CO2 is simply being recycled. What’s wrong with that? We’d all starve to death if our plants didn’t get enough CO2.

We heat entirely with wood; have two medium-sized soapstone stoves that keep our large home in Northern VT toasty. Normally use five cords/year.
