Soo the Looney Left is at it again. They want to ban future oil drilling, crush coal and now stop people from burning wood or at the very least make it more expensive to do so?
We have a wood stove and every night in the Winter we have it going to help supplement our heat which is otherwise fueled by oil.
It is a nice utopia that the Dems would have us living in where all fuels are clean and renewable like solar, wind, hydro dilithium crystals... but guess what the technology is not there yet so until then I will keep on burning wood.
Wood is a renewable energy resource. Wood stoves are excellent sources of inexpensive, affordable heat for many, and a good supplemental heat in the coldest months.
"Most wood stoves that warm cabin and home residents from coast-to-coast can’t meet that standard. Older stoves that don’t cannot be traded in for updated types, but instead must be rendered inoperable, destroyed, or recycled as scrap metal."
are they going go door-to-door with search warrants? i dunno.
I have to question the motive and sanity of these people.
The EPA has banned the production and sale of 80 percent of America’s current wood-burning stoves, the oldest heating method known to mankind and mainstay of rural homes and many of our nation’s poorest residents. The agency’s stringent one-size-fits-all rules apply equally to heavily air-polluted cities and far cleaner plus typically colder off-grid wilderness areas such as large regions of Alaska and the American West.
They even have the EPA forcing it upon the liberties of people to stay warm.
This might be the greatest BentBowish post by Bentbow I have seen yet.
- Links to an opinion piece from 2014, tries to play it off as new news.
- Turns out the opinion piece is flat out wrong.
- Questions the sanity of others
- End it with an Alex Jones video.

That Forbes article was an opinion piece with nothing to back it up - in other words, pure right wing propaganda. Out here in the "wilderness" called the Western US, plenty of people use wood or pellet stoves to keep warm in the winter. I've used wood burning stoves the better part of my life and no one from the gubberment has ever raided my home or anyone else's to confiscate my wood burner and haul me off to jail. Depending upon a town's topography some areas can end up with winter time inversion layers which can keep all the particulates from wood burning stoves close in to the ground producing a smoggy effect. Certain towns like Taos and Santa Fe, NM or Durango, CO have local ordinances calling for more efficient wood burning stoves to deal with this problem. When it comes to wood burning stoves and global warming - that's a joke. As usual, on a slow news days the right will make up stories if they have nothing else better to do.

Good. We should be smarter than we were in 1800, and have better, more efficient, and less polluting methods of heating than wood. Cavemen may have needed wood, but we do not, nor should we. Coal is something else that is rapidly being replaced, thank God.

Dems are wanting to turn the US into a s***hole country
