Heating a home or shop to 72 degrees F and not being there is a waste. I heat with wood and when I do not load the stove, it gets cold. Nothing freezes but generally, either I am not home or under blankets. The cost of heating a space (area) perfectly, is the problem - wasting energy/fuel. I still have a hard time thinking of how many homes are empty 90 percent of the time but heated or cooled.

There IS a reason why burnt fuel is vented outside -- but how does venting it outdoors do us all any good??! <br /><br />Instead of falling back, (and not as comfortably as some would like to), on cushiony pillows of the status quo of wood and fuel, why not get up and stretch a bit. Then head off, with minds and hearts full of focus, drive, attention, love, and money looking for and finding ways to develop affordable, and advanced solar, wind and water electricity?<br /><br />When these electricities are finally and fully available to the weary public, the sun will come out, the birds will sing, and the flowers will bloom! Many people who were once torn between a hard rock and burning wood will be free at last!!

We propose a "compromise" here partially because it is vital we significantly reduce wood smoke and we think this would be a significant step forward. Natural gas also releases highly toxic chemical compounds and is even more pernicious because you can't smell it and people use it with impunity. It is a major contributor of ozone and is particularly dangerous for small children, the elderly and those with lung disease. http://www.momscleanairforce.org/natural-gas-facts/John Ackerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548459677032843743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511144021300330801.post-35801018277397485252015-01-18T11:49:44.691-08:002015-01-18T11:49:44.691-08:00Any 'compromise' will compromise people...Any 'compromise' will compromise people's health and air quality. A 365 day a year ban is needed everywhere.

Nor do I see any empathy for those who are physically suffering from inhaling wood smoke. How come? Isn't the ban on wood burning for these very reasons. Why divert the attention away from the main and most important issue of public health? Now that we know better, when is it responsible to burn wood?
