It most assuredly will be. My response to the EPA: over your dead bodies.

What would Michael Collins do?

As long as they keep electing socialists who torment the rest of us...

LET THEM FREEZE IN THE DARK

The lawsuit was filed by Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont,

[bigheadfred]

Exactly.

[Manic_Episode]

An issue worth fighting for or moving over.

[Jacquerie]

Fighting tyranny by regulation is addressed in a couple of Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments. To return to America's first principle, that government exists to secure our rights, we must lobby our states to convene an Article V amendment convention. There is no other way.

[jjotto]

What “co-equal”?

Didn’t The Founders claim in the Federalist Papers that Congress should be the strongest branch and the Judiciary the weakest?

Is Forbes just trolling? The EPA has proposed new regulations: http://www2.epa.gov/residential-wood-heaters/proposed-new-source-performance-standards-residential-wood-heaters

The EPA is asking for comments and give instructions here: http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2013-12/documents/proposed_wood_heater_nsps_overview_fact_sheet_1.pdf

[jetson]

Because of all of the spare the air days in Calif during a very cold Sept and December people are having to set up special payment programs just to pay the heating and electrical bills. This doesn’t help the poor.

This is what happens when you’ve got a bunch of incompetent, immature, pot-smoking hippies running the country.

[palmer]

They are not proposing banning.

[palmer]

Fireplaces are not covered, only wood stoves.

[RightOnTheBorder]

It most assuredly will be. My response to the EPA: over your dead bodies

Get one decent human being on your jury and you'll walk.

[palmer]

Existing wood stoves are not covered.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It’s hard to watch the fundamental transformation of America.

[Joe Miner]

How much particulate matter do you get if you torch a bureaucrat? We can run some experiments with EPA volunteers.

[CatherineofAragon]

Oh, well, you know....it goes without saying that our betters deserve to be comfortable. /s

Don’t burn plastic. It releases the inner nature of the beast.

[dynachrome]

"Only weeks after EPA enacted its new stove rules, attorneys general of seven states sued the agency to crack down on wood-burning water heaters as well."

Forbes states it as fact.

[SkyDancer]

If a wood stove is your primary source of heat I’d see that those EPA folks that showed up would have so much fun in the snow.
