EPA enforcers will make a nice hot grease fire....
UP 3985, an oil-burning 4-6-6-4 currently scheduled for refurbishing in Cheyenne, WY at the Union Pacific steam shop. Right after they get Big Boy 4014 on the road...
And make sure to tell them it’s burning OIL!! ;-)
Libtard Envirowackos don’t give at rat’s behind whether solid or liguid....carbon is carbon!
And thanks for the UP roster correction...Happy New Year!
I’m sure they’ll listen to that advice, laugh, and go cut more wood.

Liberals love their newpapers. They'd never agree to that.
[[We should send the EPA to Desolation Point and let them live without anything to burn to keep warm.]]
Won’t work- they are so full of hot air they’ll neve3r freeze
Really i think Alaskans should comply, and start burning used tires instead-
Invite the EPA up to the region to stay a few days. Let them figure how to stay warm.
I would so dearly like to lock one of those EPA Bast—ds up in a great big iron open top box about 10 by 10 outside in Alaska when it is 40 below. Give them all the wood they need and a good stove but no matches. In 3 hours come back and ask them how much they are willing to pay for a box of matches and if they mind violating EPA regulations?
Agenda 21 is so “in the past”. The new deal is Agenda 2030, look it up. The goals and the numbers of local city councilmen, mayors and regulators that are working on implementation are legion.
Actually in the Mat Su we burn pallets and household garbage to keep warm
Btw one volcano spewing ash in Europe recently in a single day wiped out 20 years of restrictions combined.
One volcano, why doesn’t the EPA restrict them?
No - hubby did consider putting in a heat pump when we built this house in 1976, but didn’t. We also considered retro fitting an outdoor wood furnace, but the cost was not within our budget and retro fitting would have been a pain.
We wound up using our two fireplaces and a woodstove in the basement during those really cold winters and the wood was available from the National Forest Land for free. One of the rangers lived next door. The guys in the neighborhood used to get together and go out and get a pickup load for each one of us on weekends.
Sometimes the house was so hot we had to put on shorts, cause hubby wanted a full blown fire everywhere-burned cleaner. When we put in the apartment in the basement, we took out the wood stove, and put in base board heaters. Bad move. To put in another wood stove would involve putting in another flue or tearing out two of the walls for the bathroom and bedroom.
If the EPA thinks it’s wise to force Alaskans to stop using their wood stoves, it reveals the level of intellect running that organization. If that’s the level of thinking that determines the policies coming out of that organization, then it is time to clean house. Our nation can’t afford to have an organization, as powerful as the EPA, run by morons. It tells us why the policies coming out of that organization are asinine and why it has allowed itself to be influenced by con men posing as scientists.
I missed that new regulation. It must have been when I was coughing on all the smoke from the approved USFS burn piles.
Buffalo chips.
The Imperial EPA has spoken - and, yes, you WILL freeze to death this winter, citizen.
This isn’t just ordinary stupid; it’s government stupid.
1. If we don’t burn wood, that wood will decompose naturally and still release same amount of CO2 (that “toxic” gas we emit when we exhale).
2. If we don’t burn wood, there will be more forest fires, again emitting the same CO2 and producing more smoke/particulate than fireplaces would generate.
