"The environment has to trump comfort," Regan said. "I'm sentimental about these things. A fireplace is so romantic, the curl of the smoke rising up - it's like Norman Rockwell. But I'm willing to make a concession to the planet's health and survival."These fools deserve the totalitarianism they live under.

But soot from burning wood is a serious pollutant... Then, you buy a stove with a catalyst. Problem solved.

Here in Southwest Washington, we were recently informed of a similar rule that is taking effect this year. It just kills me that we are constantly urged to do everything we can to use less and less electricity, only to arrive at winter to find that heating with wood is being severely restricted.
The difference here is that the Authorities are encouraging neighbors do dime each other out...

People who gather their children to enjoy hot cocoa, and ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’, around a roaring fireplace are worse than Hitler.

I would need everyone to buy a stove with a catalyst and it’s not happening.

True. And, when caught, I plan to tell them it was smoke from a group medical marijuana therapy session, attended by an all-gay crowd, during which we planned disruptions to local Catholic Masses for being anti-Obama and anti-abortion.

No problem. Achieve oxygen independence: Breathe less.
If it works for oil, it should work for everything else.
