More mission creep, more highhanded government causing problems for citizens
(Fox News)"A federal proposal requiring more efficiency from wood-burning stoves has ignited a debate between the Obama administration and lawmakers who oppose the new regulations, arguing the rules impose an unfair burden on people in remote areas. The Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule changes in January that would dramatically tighten emissions requirements on new wood-powered heaters, though does not impact ones already in homes. The EPA estimates that as much as 13 percent of all soot pollution in the U.S. is a result of inefficient wood-fired stoves and boilers."
Is soot a problem from a purely environmental viewpoint? Yes. Just like it has been since Man discovered fire.
Of course, these wankers are looking at it from a “climate change” point of view, rather than simply a clean air and water view.
I wonder if they plan on implementing regulations against Mother Nature for when she starts fires from lightening strikes?

Which brings to mind a certain document:
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”
I wonder if we as a country have been experiencing massive violations of the Third Amendment (quartering), but our Masters have managed to keep the question from arising. (Gosh, it's just an old, forgotten Amendment).
I mean, who's PAYING those 40-odd goon "smoke agents", if not you, your neighbors and the victims? "Eating out your substance", indeed.
They're spying on you, and so are all the other goon enforcement agencies, AND the NSA.
Tell them that I'm looking for gas stations that sell 100% gasoline.
Otherwise, I'm going to park the gas vehicles and use only the Diesels.
Ah, less Sulfur in the air (and condensed water). Who knew about these unintended consequences?
Oddly enough, we have one of the few No-Ethanol pumps in the state at out local Co-Alliance.
93 octane, no corn
Just spread the wealth around...
Is it woodstove pollution, or the hundreds of thousands of acres of wildfires every year because the EPA, Forest Service, and Interior Dept enviro fascists won’t allow for proper management of our (we the people)’s forests? We should sue the FedGov for willfully damaging our health.
It has got to be shut down. Sadly I cannot think of one possible GOP candidate for 2016 that is promising to do this. So far Newt has been the only person willing to shutter any govt agency.
Just what exactly are they basing their 13% estimate on?
The way the chicken guts hit the floor, or Obunghole’s rectal temperature?
(Putting some E85 into a vehicle's tank to clear out the water is always an option should the 10% Ethanol gas disappear (sometime after Bammy is Long Gone))....

Should have said Obunghole’s IQ
Duh.
I use two wood stoves, and I do live in the Back of Begone.
The EPA can just kiss my hairy Redneck Ass, or get a natural gas pipeline up here free of charge to me and the rest of the citizens of this country.
They steal enough in fees and fines, so let them pay for it.
Can’t do much about the drones, unless they get low enough to shoot (wonder how they taste).
For the rest of it I pay cash.
I never knew the place had an ethanol-free pump until I was linked to this http://pure-gas.org/extensions/map.html by a FReeper last year.
And I’ve been buying gas from there for years!
Private property, I cut what I need.
Small Airports, Co-ops and Marinas seem to be your best bet to find the good stuff
Trust me they WILL figure out a way.
They tax you for dieing don’t they?
It’s yet another tool to herd the riffraff of yesterday’s private sector toward extermination and protect the “property values” of worthy rural recipients of government and government-linked incomes. The political class is so brilliant. ;-)
We’ll see how the new fascism works out. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.
The EPA doesn’t know anything about sustainability or preventing pollution. The survivalist-neohippie-redneck movement does. Built properly and located wisely, the following, for around $400, don’t smoke and can’t be seen.

And there are other ways being developed. Celebrities are joining, and even a former homeless dude turned billionaire. Many would be wisest to give up their suckup ways, give up their addiction to dollars from debt/revenues, give up their busybody regulator ways and join the movement. That vortex of recirculating debt/revenues will get much smaller before long, ejecting many suckups who now depend on it into unexpected homelessness.
Is there anything I can use to keep myself warm....that these idiots approve of?
