EPA's Wood-Burning Stove Ban Has Chilling Consequences For Many Rural People - Forbes

and so it begins in Utah

"Governor Herbert recognizes the inversion problem in Utah, especially along the Wasatch Front, and is pushing for a ban on wood burning to heat homes (Welcome to the Program for Air Quality, Health, and Society). Recently Salt Lake County decided to ban such fireplaces. There is no excuse for homeowners to continue to burn wood to heat homes, given that natural gas prices are so low. Wood burners and other such polluters must realize that clean air is a public good and its pollution causes health hazards to all."

Time right for Utah wood burning ban

I grew-up in the Central Valley of California [San Juaquin Valley] the inversion thing is a big problem there. Weather patterns come from the ocean and must climb to 15,000 feet to get up / over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. So a lot of moisture gets dumped on the Western side of those mountains, leaving the Nevada side very dry.

Most of the winter months are spent with over-cast skies. As barometric pressure changes the cloud layer hangs at different altitudes. Some days the cloud layer might be at 100' on other days it is at ground level. So much moisture, is heavy and it has a hard time getting up enough altitude to get over the mountains.

Also most of the smoke generated in the valley is trapped there.

It is possible for woodstoves to cause regional health problems. Just as gasoline fueled vehicles in basin cities can lead to smog.

Fortunately Maine is over 92% forest, Maine is basically flat with no serious mountains, and Maine has no cities surrounded by mountains. So wood smoke will never be a big issue here.

heh, heh, heh...All I've got to say is good luck to them with enforcing it - especially in rural Maine where many people heat with wood exclusively.

I lived in Northern California for many years. In Davis(almost more lefty than berserkley) when they banned all wood stove use they actually got a bunch of local citizens to drive around on rainy cold days and look for wood smoke coming out of chimneys, note the address and report to the city officials. Then the city would mail out warnings or fines! How Nazi is that!?
Me thinks somebody would go missing if that happened here in the woods......

Wood is not a for sale product in Davis, as it is in Maine. There is a sign on 95 that reminds people that we don't want their wood from some other state and that its against the law to bring it in.

Maybe in sunny Florida Keys where you might have a couple of cold days.

Anyone who went around and did that, would be in for a serious level of bad doo doo in Maine.
