EPA moves to regulate new wood stoves
Posted by stargeezer 11 years, 4 months ago to Government
So these regs will make present stoves 80% more clean and in five years they are going to make them tighter.... and then you will be able to breathe the exhaust right out of the flu - of course they will be so tight that the biggest fire you'll be able to build will be the size of a farmers match.
I wonder just how they plan to stop all the pollution that floats into the US from other countries? "Our" air, lakes and streams are all cleaner than they were before the pilgrims landed and passed their first gas here, but that don't matter. The EPA will still be tightening the rules on US until we aren't allowed to breathe without a catalytic converter over our mouth, nose and butt.
We have got to get rid of these people.

Then you tell me about them passing a foolish ban on fireplaces where such were integral to the homes. Cold climate, thin atmosphere... my mind made the connection.
I believe somewhere else I pointed out that my brain doesn't work like normal people's... :(
In looking up the info on Farmer in the Sky, I came across this tidbit...
"Heinlein also postulated that the surface of Ganymede was volcanic rock like the Moon. Subsequent discoveries have shown that Ganymede's crust is actually almost 90% ice or frost, covering a subsurface ocean."

Hot dog! I was excited about farming long-chain hydrocarbon compounds (petrochemicals) from Titan, but... WATER! I gotta get me mining rights on Ganymede asafp. Great news that there's water ice available that far from the sun. Of course, it'd be more useful a bit closer, but... nevermind.
"But, your seedlings, they are dead, jah? Here, we will grow more."
- From ancient memory, "Farmer in the Sky" by Robert A. Heinlein.
Johann's folly was the fireplace he put in his house on climate-controlled Ganymede, and the apple tree he planted outside his home.
When a moonquake destroys most of the colony, disables the climate control, and the survivors have to head for the pressurized "city", Johann and his family remain in their home... cozy warm, burning his foolish apple tree in his foolish fireplace.
Thanks for triggering the memory, khalling.

On what data are you basing that claim?
