Many people live in Alaska for a reason, and kow-towing to the EPA is not one of them. Alaskans are fiercely independent. This MIGHT work in Anchorage.......anywhere else in the state.......not so much.
The EPA needs to be disbanded. They’ve outlived their usefulness. If there were any reasonable environmental regulations, none have been added since Clinton took office. They are now just inventing boogiemen to justify their jobs.
Glad I live out of town.
Lefties, freezing people to death, for the common good.
Alaskans will tell an EPA freak to pound sand, I think.
Another nail in the EPA coffin.
OK, then burn bureaucrats. That might release a little bit of carbon into the environment, however, it will result in a massive future savings by eliminating a carbon producer.
GMAFB!!!
How much “small particle pollution” results from all the wood burning stoves in Alaska together as opposed to, say, one small forest fire started by a lighting strike?
If Trump can’t demolish the EPA, he should at least move it to the far northern reaches of Alaska. Maybe to Little Diomede Island so they can see Russia. Just the eviroweenies, the Russians and the polar bears floating around on their melting pieces of ice.
The EPA desk jockeys responsible for this edict believe that they are untouchable. Oh, shall I dream that these wankers shall soon receive pink slips?
Sounds like they need a good sherif to arrest any EPA agents so cruel as to try to enforce such regulations.
Now I burn wood, and I also know that some of these regulations are for wood burners that don’t have reburners in them to make them much more efficient as well as producing less pollution. Most modern wood stoves have them. Not that I am excusing ANYTHING that comes out of DC, and the local elected sherif should make some quality cell time for the EPA if they ever end up on anyone’s doorstep.
And YES, DRAIN THE SWAMP! and end this liberal madness...
The EPA should stop wasting our Air
Here in CA, our regulators make the EPA look like pikers.
And to think, forty five years ago all the Back-To-Earth hippie magazines were praising the use of wood stoves for heat!
Now I think of it, some national news shows back then praised the Vermont idea of a return to wood heat.
Now wood heat is bad.
Can’t use oil, coal, natural gas, wood. What is left for the Leftists?
King Henry, entering a hovel wet from rain: “Give me fire! Give me Warmth!”
Becket: “You will find no fire her sire.”
Henry: “And why is that!”
Becket: “Each hovel is allowed two measures of wood a year. One stick more and they are hanged.”
Henry: “My edict?”
Becket: “Your edict sire.”
Henry “GIVE ME FIRE! GIVE ME WARMTH!”
If any govt agency ever needed to be completely & totally done away with, it’s the EPA.
The beauty of it, it was created by exec order and can probably be obliterated the same way.
I then recommend putting all of the out-of-work EPA employees in the Alaskan wilderness. Give them plenty of food, water and a shelter. Just no means to create heat. Since they are lefties, they don’t need guns either.
Past time to abolish the EPA!!!!
No problem burn coal.
I have read and seen this story on two separate conservative websites, but other than that, nothing... Are John Daniel Davidson and Matt Vespa writing an article with present day names or is their only source, Jack London? I don’t have a problem beleiving this, I just like to have names other than writers involved in the story, especially if the story moves me, and mumblings of the EPA is not a source. Sometimes, it’s better to check on these things yourself, instead of using this instance in a conversation and find out it’s just another story designed to enlighten the lazy with what they deserve for also being gullible.
Take the EPA officials who thought up this idiot policy and drop them off in the Alaska wilderness with a pile of kindling and no matches. Let them contemplate the error of their ways for 24 hours.
Move EPA offices to Fairbanks and don’t let them heat with anything.
Yes; it will get worse and be widely reported. And the long-absent homeless will suddenly reappear, like magic!
Move the EPA Winter Headquarters to Nome.
