Off Grid Attack: EPA To Outlaw Many Wood Burning Stoves

By Clash Daily / 10 January 2013 / 92 comments

Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 9.22.49 AM Our ever so helpful government has decided that your wood burning stove is now a danger to the world. In another attempt to outlaw the off grid lifestyle, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the same agency that was recently caught using drones to spy on Americans, is now going after home owners who use Wood Burning Stoves to heat their homes.

Shortly after the re-election of President Obama, the agency announced new radical environmental regulations that threaten to effect people who live off the grid. The EPA’s new environmental regulations reduce the amount of airborne fine-particle matter from 15 micrograms to 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air.

This means that most wood burning stoves would now fall into a class that would deemed unacceptable under these new draconian measures. The EPA has even launched a nifty new website called burn wise to try to sway public opinion.

Seriously? lol I guess all of Northern Maine should begin expecting visits from hippies in our near future. Next they are going to tell us that we can’t use our wood stoves, they will tell us we cannot live in our log homes anymore because we used to much wood to build it!

Obama Socialist Maggot!!! It won’t happen period!!!

#%&% the EPA and the communist government it is part off , taking my wood stove would have the SAME results of taking my firearms . I AM WAITING !
Rich

It’s all about Agenda 21. If you’re not familiar, get familiar.

I WILL NOT COMPLY. We also have the means/expertise to build our own stoves as needed.

I’ll be standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of you who agree, whether it be literally or figuratively. I will keep my wood stove, I will keep my firearms, or else I suppose I’ll meet my Maker sooner than I may have planned. Either way, again I say, I will not comply.

  You know, if every gun owner in America had showed up at the polls to vote against this joker, he would be leaving office next week.

    I surely wish someone would explain to me why they feel O’Bummer is a joker. Would you have called Hitler a joker?
    - Krazeehors
      
      I was trying not to swear, OK?? And, no, I would not have called Hitler a joker. The two are not synonomous — yet, but i believe that day is coming.
      And, your attack on my semantics is part of the problem in this country. I stand by my comment that had every gun owner in this country showed up to vote against our “fearless leader” (sarcasm, got it?); he WOULD be leaving the White House next week.
      - http://blaze.com/ mathchopper
        
        Mine was not an attack on your choice of adjectives. Your explanation for “joker” is totally logical. But, of course, I didn’t know that. How about replacing “joker” with “traitor”? That would imply more “smarts”.

      Maybe because Hitler was working on his own evil agenda, and obummer is being manipulated by communists/socialists in the background, like a puppet?

        Yes, that’s a possible reason. But I don’t think that’s the case.
  - rivahmitch
    
    It would make no difference. Voter fraud, rigged machines and crooked counting determined the last election. The next will be the same.
    - Krazeehors
      
      Even Obama would have a hard time coming up with 20 million votes, and given that there are 80 to 100 million gun owners, not even Ron Paul voters could stay home and make a difference.
      - beebee
        
        Well, that depends. If the voting machines are rigged to vote for a certain candidate, regardless of who the voter opts for, then it is a no-win situation. All the right votes could go to the wrong candidate. That happened in the last two elections (2008 and 2012).

        You need to REALLY read this book: “Hitler, God, and the Bible” by Ray Comfort.

        Also, read TheNaked Communist and the Communist Manifesto and its impact on Todays Democratic Party and Pres Obama. (Title of second may be a kittle off, but its close) both of these go into great detail about how the communist party has, for years, conceived plans to brinv America down from within and clearly lays out the 40 points they need to achieve for this to happen and how they plan to achieve each and every one of them. Sadly, many of the 40 points are already in full swing in our country.

I’m not worried about them “coming to get my stove” as much as I am concerned that they’ll get homeowners insurance companies on board, so that anyone with a mortgage who has to have insurance won’t be allowed to have a stove in their house. There are still come creative ways around this as long as you don’t live on mainstreet, but they’ll do whatever they can to make rural life miserable for as many people as possible.
- nolibliz
  
  Rich, You hit the bullseye. The Libs do very little by direct assault. They create a need, a panic, a “benefit”, etc. and then herd the sheep right into the pen. Have you noticed that now the reason you “should” get a flu shot is so that the old and sick won’t get “exposed”!?!
  
  ANYTHING (gardens, wood burning stoves, guns) that keep the power and control of one’s life in the individual is and will be regulated and “panicked” out of existence. We have and are being sold down the river by the vast majority of our elected “officials.” ( I refuse to use the word “representatives”–they no more represent us than pigs can fly!)
  - Rich
    
    Indeed. Which is why I live in the country, have guns, draft horses, and land to work. I’m nearly ready for the task of living off the grid if need be. If only I had the means to pay off my house in cash, I’d bid good day to the “grid”/government all together and dial back the lifestyle a few decades.
    
    We need people to determine to be more independent and not accept having their every need met by someone who desires to maintain control over them.
    
    These are interesting times we live in…

  Here in CAL. they have already done just that If you heat with wood then they just will not insure you at all. I checked I have a stove for heating and can not get insurance because I use wood for heating.
  - http://blaze.com/ mathchopper
    
    Have you tried lying? “Yes, I have a stove. No, I don’t use it.” If the Democraps can lie, why can’t you? (Just don’t let the stove be the cause of your house burning down.)
- stonemike
  
  Militant progressivism seeks to force humanity to live in big ‘gulag cities” where we can be controlled and managed, which means complete subjugation of the ‘great satan”, white Americans! Do you owe your children a chance to recover freedom , or do you hand their lives over to OBAMA!

Homeowner insurance has been impacted by wood heat for years in certain areas. My concern: I live in REMOTE northern Minnesota using wood, propane and electric. I RELY on my wood heat. It is affordable and non-mechanical. When man-made systems fail or become priced beyond means what am I suppose to do? I’ll forgo homeowner’s insurance if necessary.
Oh…. and here’s a hoot. Corn pellet stoves were all the rage with many of my neighbors touting their clean and cheap, burnable bio-fuel alternative. Try getting those pellets today! They are hard to find and terribly expensive now that the kings portion of corn is pushed by the government for conversion to gasoline.
Can’t put wood in those stoves. They spent an arm and a leg converting to the corn pellets…. and now……. I’m still smiling knowing I didn’t take the bait.
- Rich
  
  I too would be willing to live without homeowners insurance, except I have a mortgage so the bank requires it. If I don’t maintain insurance on my home, I am in violation of the mortgage agreement and the bank can then do as they wish to recoup their investment. Of course, two of the primary areas the government uses its heavy hand is in insurance and banking.
  
  I’ll still resist to the end though. I live in rural PA and wood is the most practical way for me to provide heat for my family. If they can force me to remove a stove from my house due to the “environmental harm” it causes, what’s to stop them from telling me I can no longer drive my V8 Truck? Live in a house that’s bigger than what my family “needs”? Grow my own food? etc…
  
  Big government is just bad news. I will not comply no matter what it costs.
  
  Ps – props on sticking to your guns (no pun intended) on the wood stove, and not converting to pellets! I know many with the same stories as your neighbors!

  Especially when corn went to $8/bushel this year because of the drought. Corn was great for heating when it was $2.50/bushel. Who’s burning corn now? Maybe it’s time to eliminate some of the subsidies in the farm bill. Everyone thinks it’s only the low income that are the sponges of this country, maybe it’s time to look into the corporate farms as being part of the freeloaders also.

TexasOlTimer

So we lose electricity in the middle of a winter storm and we sit and freeze rather than use that … gasp! … wood stove and risk the EPA swooping in to fine us.

Whether or not a stated purpose actually accomplishes what the Progressives say it will is immaterial. It is merely a means to an end. It has nothing to do with the environment. Like everything else the EPA regulates, it’s all about an ideology that is unAmerican – get rid of oil and gas, bring America to its knees and remake it in their vision of what America should be.

  Been preaching this for years, my oldest , easy going son recently told me, ‘you know Dad, I used to think you were crazy and paranoid, now everything you said is coming true”! Why won’t Americans stop this genocide of freedom before it turns into a “real genocide”? Independent and armed whites are the only thing stopping total progressive dictatorship!

    You’re right and you’ve got a smart son there! I’ve got one that drives a big truck cross country. He amped up his CB last year and can talk about 10-15 miles in any direction and he has been talking! He argues with stupid Dems and gives information to the uninformed ones. More than one has said “It can’t be THAT bad! THIS is America!” He tells it not only is, but what he’s said is only the tip of the iceberg. Without the media to be the check on the government that we’ve always figured it would be (and a lot still think it is and believe what they read), it’s very difficult to mobilize people to get off their duff and fight this….

    You aren’t the only one who feels like that. It is a pretty well known fact that many folks, especially those within the government, allowed a lot of unlawful acts to go unquestioned for fear of the minorities rioting in the streets, ala Odinga of Kenya. The first of course was his unlawful presence on the 2008 ballot for president.

  What I want to know is who put out that talking point — the one where they say the republicans didn’t vote. There is no place I have been able to find evidence indicating that any such thing happened. Romney received 1 million more votes than McCain did and Barry’s numbers were down by 4-5 million.

Another stupid pronouncement from a stupid, unnecessary government agency! I take this to mean that if in a winter storm my power goes out, I cannot use my fireplace to stay warm? Sorry, but I’ll have to disobey that order. And if a “drone” reports me, I am free to shoot it down with my illegal guns. The constitution says so, doesn’t it? And if it doesn’t, it should .:-)

In central California this has been going on for quite some time. Limits on when you can use one based on air quality. I think the exemption is if it is the sole means of heating the house.

To clarify something for beebee, Obama IS a socialist…he is a puppet to the banksters that control the show, but Obama is definitely a sociaslist already. Always has been, always will be. It is the banksters that are causing the problems, the politicians are just easily corrupted by their greed, which the banksters and major corporations take advantage of for their own gain. Our government does NOT work for the people…only a handful of politicians do. Most have sold out to the fiat dollar.

I’ve built my own before. And turned an antique coal parlor stove into a decent wood stove. They were both good burners, kept the house warm, and left the flue buildup free for the most part.

These gubment burritocrats don’t no shiite about wood burnin and should keep outta US who do’s way… There’s more to a good stove than the ‘fine particulate count’. This is all about BigGov control and we all know it.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the EPA came after wood stoves. LOL, let’s see now, they’re closing down coal-fired electricity generation because coal is too polluting. They don’t want nuclear power because of the risk of radiation. We shouldn’t drive because that uses fossil fuels and our president and EPA have pretty much shut down oil exploration and drilling. The bunny huggers don’t want wind power because it kills birds and solar power is a joke.
So exactly what are we supposed to generate power with, and how are we supposed to heat our homes, and how are we supposed to get back and forth to work?
Horses? They won’t let those into most cities because horses “pollute” too!
What a joke of an administration we have in Washington!

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
