For a lot of folks up in my region a wood stove is their only
source of heat in the home, and with a permit you can go cut
enough firewood for yourself to last all winter. Propane ain't
cheap, neither is electricity. Not to mention the money they
save may mean the kids get new shoes, or a few presents at
Christmas.
Those new stoves with the full EPA Certification are spendy,
especially when there's a good variety of used stoves available
for less than $300.
End result...the EPA fines poor people that can't afford a
"EPA Certified" stove, and they certainly can't afford to pay
some stupid fine for keeping their family warm.
Whoa whoa whoa...
Where does it say anything about fining people? You are exaggerating and making stuff up.
