Fresh on the heels of its effort to thwart federal attempts to disarm civilians, the North Carolina legislature is trying to arrest the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) larceny of liberty, as well.

Senate Bill 303 would permit North Carolina to refuse to enforce recently promulgated EPA regulations restricting the use of wood-burning stoves for heat.

"The EPA has drafted over 300 pages of regulations for wood stoves and heaters," said state senator Chad Barefoot, as quoted in a story posted by news station WRAL. Barefoot added, according to the WRAL piece, that “in many western North Carolina counties have large populations that rely on wood stoves for heat.”

  1. As I see it the EPA regulations on wood stoves are aimed like the long term ammo regulations. They don't effect the current users but make it that much more difficult when your old unit breaks and needs replaced. Most of that is going to be under Federal purview when the companies attempt to sell across state lines.

    Still it's good to see the states fighting back as much as they can.

  2. When these regulations were first announced I wondered how the real hippies, not the Starbucks socialists, would react.
    I see ALL the encroaching regulations like one of those maps from a zombie movie where the outbreaks are red circles that keep swelling until they converge and cover the entire country.
    But Hey! Didja see Brucina Jenner on the TV last night, wasn't that fasssssssinating?!

  3. Two volcanoes erupt nearly simultaneously spewing millions of ton of pollutants into the air, and the eps wants to make sure I freeze In the winter....really? As if A zillion wood stoves being used simultaneously could produce the same amount of "greenhouse gasses" as our little wood stoves. Fine Mother Nature eps!!!

  4. Not about the environment, never is. Money. Force feeding people to fuel or
    electricity which are much more offensive to the environment, i.e. Duke Energy
    and the ash pond contamination which also contaminated the French Broad
    River. Corporations such as these are monstrosities. Burn baby, burn.
    The liberal rats who have invaded Buncombe Cnty are the problem.
