Yawn, another law to ignore...heck I still burn my own trash and that has been illegal for at least 25 years, one of the advantages of living in the middle of nowhere.
Here’s the facts as I know them:
A tree on my acreage that falls and dies and rots releases X amount of CO2.
If I take that same tree and use it for heat, it releases the very same X amount of CO2...no more, no less.
I have heated all through this winter’s cold spell with wood. While propane soared so high it became a matter of governor declared emergency in many states, I was just fine and toasty at home. I do have propane backup.
I heat my water, my house, and my wife’s quilt studio with our wood burning central boiler. I have no doubt that I’m saving energy, money, and even pollution. I allow my trees to replenish. I take down the dead, dying, and unhealthy, because it just makes sense.
I’ve thought of using wood to run a steam generator to power electricity throughout the year.
I’m amazed at the EPA’s hatred of the middle class and poor. Our poor in this county heat with wood and replenish their freezers with deer as their prime source of meat.
Thinking in Spanish?
I have a small pot bellied stove....if the outside temp gets above freezing I have to crack the doors a few inches!!!
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
One of a multitude of grievances against King Hussein.
DISMANTLE this New Office (in the history of our republic)
CONFISCATE the assets of the King’s officers.
That’s what drone strikes are for.
I would say that very few of the boot licking, gubmint loving Libs will be engaged in any 'off grid' type of lifestyles. Those would be your Tea Party and Conservative types who are considered 'dangerous' to the Regime.
How is the EPA gonna enforce this AFTER the SHTF?
Never mind....you spelled two wrong!!LOL
If the Democrats get reelected in 2016, by 2017 you will need a federal license to own an internal combustion engine.
They won’t. But they want as few as possible living independent lifestyles at that time, and this is just one impediment to achieving that state.
There you go again, using logic and reason. Doesn't work with progressives.
This keeps up and what’s coming to the US will make events in Kiev look like a boy scout jamboree.
I know a guy who built his own outdoor wood boiler using two large propane tanks.Cost him under 500 bucks for everything and it works great.

Get your stoves while you can and hide them well....
Efficiency does matter.
If you use less wood to heat your house because you burn it completely and keep the heat in your house instead of going out the chimney,
then you will produce less CO2, not that plant food is a pollutant, mind you.
Someone above said he installed one of these “approved” stoves and used half the wood that he did before.
When wood burning stoves are outlawed, only outlaws will have wood burning stoves.
San Francisco did exactly that Christmas Eve & Day 2013.
