- Really, well how about this, if someone with one of those wood stoves puts the fire out, the soot stops being produced. If I go turn of my heater will the power plant down the road stop polluting? No, because it runs 24/7/365. So you tell me which one is producing more pollution.

- "Enviro Groups Sue Over EPA Mining Rule
Critics Charge Move By Bush Admin. Would Increase Pollution From Mountaintop Mining"
This is one of this side stories on the right side of this article. The truth of the matter is that our government (including our Environmental *PROTECTION* Agency) doesn''t give a roarin'' rip about how much pollution we are ingesting, digesting, etc. If there aren''t $$ signs involved this takes a backseat. How disgusting this is, that the safety/health of our own citizens is not TOP PRIORITY! - Reply to this comment
- Some heat their homes by wood stoves. Our great grandparents did. Soot. The cars are worse in that dept, what next? Smog is far worse. There are days it is so bad people can''t go out. Get a lot of the cars off the roads.

- This is nothing more than the government trying to push more people into electric and NG whether they want it or can afford it. No way those little wood stoves are belching more soot than the power plants are, but somehow they always get a pass.

- EPA Decision on Air Quality Standards for Soot and Dust May Cause 24,000 Deaths Annually
As many as 24,000 Americans could lose their lives every year because of the EPA%u2019s refusal to follow the advice of medical professionals to tighten U.S. air quality standards that control soot, dust and other particulate matter, by allowing one less microgram per cubic meter of air annually, according to a cost-benefit analysis released Friday. - Reply to this comment
- PS
Go review what the American Medical Association says about the health dangers of soot, and get back to us. Denial is not good for your health :) - Reply to this comment
- Troutfish,
Lets start by saying I am not big on all the enviromental bullying or the climate change bullying for that matter. When I get tired of hearing something repeated ad nauseum, I tend to get sarcastic. If you dont like it tough ****. Its a free country, I still have the right to disagree.

- "The EPA notified elected officials in 211 counties in 25 states that their air violated newly tightened daily standards for fine particles of pollution from diesel-burning trucks, power plants, wood-burning stoves and other sources."

I can see the order in which states will tackle this problem...
1. immediately ban the use of wood-burning stoves, enacting severe penalties.
2. spend years debating what should be restricted next. - Reply to this comment
- It''s difficult to clean up the air when our government is spraying chemtrails daily and denying it. This is going on ALL OVER THE WORLD.
EPA, when are you going to do something and tell the American people the truth? What is the miltary spraying on us? - Reply to this comment
