So, youâre living in Fairbanks, Alaska, and itâs 45 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The high today will be -39 degrees below zero. The weather services all project lots more double-digit minus numbers in the coming days and weeks, with dips into the minus 50s and 60s. Heating oil prices are killing your family budget, so you crank up the wood stove and start burning some of the firewood you collected last summer. Uh-oh! Now youâre in trouble!
Yes, youâre merely trying to survive economically â along with trying to keep the wife, kids, and grandma from freezing to death. Of course, that's not a mere theoretical possibility in these temps â but federal EPA bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., have determined that fine particulate matter (soot) in your wood smoke is verboten.

the EPA had better not get wind of the reveling during Packers games, everyone is drinking around bonfires, but that's in support of gladiatorial sports and sexualized cheer leading, better to go freeze to death a bunch of Alaskans and harp on them ...

This is first degree disobedience of Big Brother??? What will our illustrious leaders do about this?
