Trumps EPA
« on: December 21, 2016, 03:57:26 PM »

Wonder what the future looks like to you with Scott Pruitt heading the EPA? How will it effect the Outdoor Furnace Industry if any? Any chance for 2020 standards or even what we have now?

Government does not reduce government period, regardless of whom is in charge.
 If Trump rolls back regulations, I will be shocked!

I talked in depth about this with my area distributor at the farm show last week, our general consensus is that it doesn’t effect enough people for the Trump administration to even look at.

Lots of talk about rule changes overnight. It's not an easy process like some sheep like to believe. I'll put my money on by the time any change would work its way through the system/courts it'll either be someone's second term or someone else's first.

Personally I like my G Series, love not having a cloud of smoke either rolling down the hill towards the pastures, across the road, towards the house or shop. I don’t care how it was forced on people though, a better tax rebate could have been put in place instead, like cash for clunkers. Usually though those in power just love new regulations as it justifies their agencies existence as now somebody needs to enforce the new regs.

Me too!  Let's enjoy these next 4 years while we can.  My best friend hauls coal in his truck and he has said there is a noticeable increase in production already.

It seems to me the elimination of the EPA entirely is a horrible idea.  States should be given power for most items, but I believe a good base to start with wherein all states have minimums is also a good idea.  Common sense is what we need.

Common sense, yea that's what they have been calling it since the Reagan years, it may seem like common sense to them but common sense to me is, do as you please with your body and property, don't hurt anyone and take responsibility for your mistakes!

Problem is by time most people become state or federal politicians, they’ve already been around other politicians, lawyers and lobbyists long enough to have the lack of common sense rub off on em.

Completely eliminate it? No, several cut em off at the knees? You betcha.

Where does he get coal from?

He works for a trucking company out of Springfield Illinois.  He is originally from Jackson Wisconsin.  He hauls coal to 2 large power plants.

   In Scott Pruitt's first speech  to the EPA, he outlined that he intends for the EPA to adhere to States' rights. We'll have to see what happens  in the near future. Wisconsin, Michigan and I think Missouri have already passed legislation to the affect that if left to them, wood burning would not be regulated.

Let's hope and pray!!  I have had the county and the Township cop stop by to take a look at my wood burner when they see me outside.  I have given them permission to park on my property to radar the speed racers.   They are all for wood burning.  I can't see it being an issue in Wisconsin.

A lot of local state police, deputies, DOT, etc guys around here have HeatMaster units. We take care of them, they take care of us. Local authorities have rarely been an issue, rather they usually promote wood burning.
