As more Americans look for (and succeed in finding) ways to “get off the grid” or live free from the confines of an all-powerful, multi-level (local, state, federal) government apparatus, that government apparatus simply becomes more authoritarian.
The latest effort to control the population is aimed at anyone who dares to utilize wood as a means of providing warmth and comfort. As the weather begins to turn cold across much of the United States, this effort is becoming a much more pressing issue.
As reported by Off the Grid News, beginning in the fall of 2016, it will become illegal to install wood-burning heaters and stoves in new homes in at least one major American city: San Francisco, where left-wing authoritarians go to thrive.
In fact, even wood stoves that have been certified by the persnickety Environmental Protection Agency, which never saw a wisp of smoke it liked, as low emission won’t be allowed in new San Francisco homes.
“We are serious about reducing the health risks associated with our residents’ exposure to wood smoke,” Kristine Roselius, a spokeswoman for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, told the Contra Costa County Times. “We are strengthening a rule that has been successful in protecting public health.”
