I'll assume the latter.
Oh, so if I say you are an idiot who should be exterminated because civilized society allowed your ilk to escape natural selection and put a wink on the end, it makes it ok?

Oh, ok... Wow... what an idiot!

huck huck, its all good now right? Or should I expect a mods response soon?

Like soap, make up, almost ALL plastics, oil base fabrics like polyester, synthetic rope to threads, and a lot more.

Now i don't go to malls but for maybe once a year if that, but last time I was they had AC on and or they had heat on.

Why there is tawk to get rid of wood stoves around here at times, as i hear it to ban them. Good luck with that.

It takes FIRE to make most everything we have and to get that fire most of the time it takes OIL.

There is 3 places we can get oil, dino out of the ground, syn/veggie we grow, and last animal fats.

I will think about when the cities all black out, but till then, I plan to do what I do anyway.
I heard that in Las Vegas, wood fireplaces can't be used.

Not to sure how cold it gets in Vegas. I passed thru the area, but avoided the city in Oct 05 and it was in the high 90's then. Back home in NH had I been there it would have been damp and raw, no more foliage with dull gray winter skies. There isn't a great deal of wood for fuel in that area either so far as I can tell. I went to the Grand Canyon and saw what there is for trees there. I even have a sample of that pine now. There was a curly peice of pine in the fire wood at 'Hermit's Lodge' and I asked for a smaller piece for a sovienier. Some day I plan to use it as scale grips on a hand made knife. Normally I wouldn't use pine for a grips on a knife, but I won't be selling this one, when I have it made.

Also in the Vegas area, atleast in Oct of the year it is real windy, so I wouldn't know why fire for heat would be banned in the first place. At the time the wind was a problem for riding motorcycles to a point. The wind remained a problem untill I was east of the central Texas area too.

Vega's design temperature for HVAC design for the winter is 30°F. What that means is 99% of the time, during the winter period, it will be at 30°F or higher...

+30F is hardly cold enough to need full time heat. I wonder for about how many days that ends up as?

Why don't you go get a MOD first knuckledragger. You obviously have no sense of humor and must be a real life of the party.

Approximately 2/5ths of the year would be considered heating days.

That seems high to me, but I only passed thru. In NH from early Nov thru march isd heating days here, Sometimes well into April, and even May. I recall a snow storm in May where over 24 inches of the white stuff buried us big time.

At +15 sometimes we open windows and doors to get an air exhange here. Maybe it's just me, but i don't worry much about the cold, untill it gets to be +10 and colder. At +10 water pipes are under threat some.

Because I am not offended by the belligerent bravado of eco-nuts who make claims of good, but are only thugs who demand subservience to their view and would see violence and destruction to all that oppose them.

So do you dream about killing those who do not worship your ideal? Is your self esteem so low that the the thought of others not agreeing with you makes you angry and violent?

Should we expect you and your kind to form an army storming and laying waste to all the dirty humans of the world to save your precious planet?
