Is Forbes just trolling? The EPA has proposed new regulations: http://www2.epa.gov/residential-wood-heaters/proposed-new-source-performance-standards-residential-wood-heaters

The EPA is asking for comments and give instructions here: http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2013-12/documents/proposed_wood_heater_nsps_overview_fact_sheet_1.pdf

"Only weeks after EPA enacted its new stove rules, attorneys general of seven states sued the agency to crack down on wood-burning water heaters as well."

Forbes states it as fact.

Thanks for the EPA links. I found this quite interesting. What pollutes more I wonder? (nI note it does not effect current stoves in peoples homes, yet those states want to ban them , in effect)

"proposed rule would not affect existing woodstoves and other wood-burning heaters currently in use in people’s homes. The proposal also would not apply to outdoor fireplaces, pizza ovens, barbecues or chimineas, and it would not apply to new or existing heaters that are fueled solely by oil, gas or coal. In addition, the proposal would not prohibit or restrict the use of wood-burning appliances for residential heating."

The QC on Forbes contributors doesn’t appear to be much higher than that on “Examiner” writers.
