These multitude of abuses render this government illegitimate.
I’m out in rural America. My stove makes a difference. I cut the wood, my own wood, I split it, I stack it. My time is money, but it’s my time to use as I choose. That stove provides better heat and cheaper heat.
I guess I will have to slip over to Vinita OK and buy a truck load of nasty stinky COAL!
Franklin stoves are supposed to be pretty good.
Can’t find coal around here to buy, and I’m only an hour from Eastern Kentucky.
I’ve built quite a few wood stove and steel fireplaces in my life. I can build more for the underground wood burners.
I agree with your idea, but good luck getting anything done in this country ever again.
It’s becoming apparent that the only remedy remaining is to shoot the bastards when they show up at your house. (the ammo box)
So I guess the EPA will now be sending in SWAT teams to enforce their wood stove regs? :(
the reg will be nonenforceable
My outdoor boiler heats the house, the water, and the outbuilding. The propane and electric companies probably hate it, but that’s just the way it is.
“The EPA has finalized a 344-page rule to make wood stoves more environmentally friendly, meaning that millions of Americans will soon be forced to buy more expensive wood-fired stoves.”
Welcome to the world of CRONY CAPITALISM!
Smokeless Bar-B-Q pits are next......right after banning burning wood in you home fireplace.
The solution today is to install another layer of thermal insulation around the house, and in the attic.....
I read of a guy in Wisconsin that built a house with 9 inch insulation and in winter the heat from the kitchen gas stove and the water heater was sufficient to keep the house warm.
That will only come about via an Article 5 “Convention of the States” proposed Amendment to the Constitution. Congress and the executive will never agree to such a law since that would severely limit their power.
“But EPA claims the rule will save lives while only costing $45.7 million per year. EPA also argues that forcing people to ditch their wood stoves will result in 360 to 810 fewer death per year”
Thats 56 thousand per life.
So to save all 300 million lives would cost us 16 trillion, 800 billion.
Just more empty talk. Republicans supposedly oppose a lot of things but they never take any meaningful actions to stop them.
Meanwhile federal agencies are running wild, effectively legislating on their own. Until Republicans make an example of some wayward agency nothing is going to change. Arbitrary rule making will continue to be forced on the American people. This is no way to run a government.
Can’t you just visualize the nerd who generated this estimate...show me your “Common Core” derivations, please!
Don’t go there. The EPA is likely to target them next and perhaps impose a user tax. There’s no limit to what it wants to control.
But, but, but, then congress critters would have to grow a spine...not likely...it’s for the children, dontcha’ know?
Lives are not being saved,perhaps they are being extended.
The twice burning wood stoves supposedly give off less emissions because there are less particles.
Personally, I think it’s to make people more dependent because they can’t turn off wood.
