EPA’s Ban On Wood Burning Stoves Just Days From Taking Effect

EPA’s Ban On Wood Burning Stoves Just Days From Taking Effect | Off The Grid News:
"The Environmental Protection Agency is set to finalize a set of regulations in February that critics say will effectively ban production of 80 percent of the wood- and pellet-burning stoves in America.
The EPA had published a set of proposed regulations more than a year ago, and since then had accepted public comments.
But the regulations already are having an impact.
An advertisement for the Central Boiler Company says that company’s classic outdoor wood furnaces will be outlawed by the new regulations and will not be available later this spring.
The EPA has argued that the new regulations would improve air quality.
The regulations require stoves to burn 85 percent cleaner."
