More mission creep, more highhanded government causing problems for citizens

(Fox News)"A federal proposal requiring more efficiency from wood-burning stoves has ignited a debate between the Obama administration and lawmakers who oppose the new regulations, arguing the rules impose an unfair burden on people in remote areas. The Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule changes in January that would dramatically tighten emissions requirements on new wood-powered heaters, though does not impact ones already in homes. The EPA estimates that as much as 13 percent of all soot pollution in the U.S. is a result of inefficient wood-fired stoves and boilers."

Is soot a problem from a purely environmental viewpoint? Yes. Just like it has been since Man discovered fire.

Of course, these wankers are looking at it from a “climate change” point of view, rather than simply a clean air and water view.

I wonder if they plan on implementing regulations against Mother Nature for when she starts fires from lightening strikes?

Bar-B-Q joints most of which cook with wood. That assclown sure does love some Bar-B-Q

I need to know which wood stoves are going to be banned so I can get one beforehand.

Call your local woodstove dealer and ask for an "assault style", "semi-automatic" type model that has a "high capacity" firebox. If available, ask the dealer for a model with an "80% complete" flue pipe, that way you may get around having to registering it... but if you do have to register it, plan on having a tragic boating accident with your new stove in the near future.

Cleaner air causes global warming due to more sunlight reaching the ground. Burn if you love the planet.
