I know a guy who has a heating plant that is a coal stoker.
I wonder when the EPA will knock on his door and tell him to shut it down forever....

Never thought I'd see the day when liberals would tell everyone to use oil. They don't want to allow drilling for it, they preached endlessly in the 90s about using it, and now they are telling us all that we should use it because it's so much nicer than wood. The fact is, we damage a whole hell of a lot more when we use oil than when we burn wood.

We don't tend to slaughter thousands of animals when we chop down a tree to heat our homes. We don't need a law banning wood burning stoves, we simply need to educate people how to burn their wood.

The flip flopping done by liberals is beyond the realm anymore. None of them make any sense at all. Not a single one.

If you believe the crap on that website, I'm more than a little surprised that you can start a fire in your woodstove.

There are three websites posted. To which one are you referring?

The middle one.

BTW, my woodstove works real nice at my NM cabin and I seriously doubt that jack-booted gummint thugs are on the way to yank it out.

It's always hilarious to read threads that start with "the sky is falling" opening statement and links and read on when the actual facts get posted and then just see deflection attempt after deflection attempt followed by just plain ignoring.

forcing China to clean its smog would solve global warming a lot faster.

Britt, I'll give you a dollar if you promise to stop using the word "putative". Ten dollars if you promise not to start another thread through the rest of the month.
