EPA To Alaskans In Sub-Zero Temps: Stop Burning Wood To Keep Warm

[Adam]

Do we really have no burn days?

im gonna have to start using my fireplaces

[Tank]

I believe the law is that we can't burn wood in fireplaces on cloudy/overcast days.

 

you know, the days where it would make the most sense to use them.

[Adam]

I have two fireplaces. No clue why 

[Tank]

obviously you don't live in bixby knolls, where it's hotter than the surface of the sun and fireplaces aren't needed.

I posted. Not sure if I'm classified as an AW lib, though.

This is what I know.

1. Fine particulate is a problem because it is linked to heart attacks, lung cancer, DNA mutations, and premature death.

2. Asking Alaskans to stop burning wood as a source of heat is a non-starter.

 

The EPA should work with local government to try to clean up fine particulate, while at the same time understand there is only so much they can do in Alaska.

Kudos to Rico for stepping out of the shadows and calling the EPA a bunch a overreaching douchebags!  That's the kind of bipartisan support that makes AW great!

STFU, rightie.

I just don't understand why you and red don't want to talk about Obama blatant racism by wanting white people in Alaska to freeze to death.

I somehow doubt it'd be the white folk suffering up there...

Never underestimate the suffering from white guilt.

Want a safety pin?
