Should fireplace fires be banned?

This is just a little taste of what to expect under a Hillary administration...

I don't see why even if C02 is the concern. Wood is carbon neutral for the most part.

They can have my axe when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

The disturbing part is all this nonsense starts in California and then spreads like wildfire.

I lived in a mountain valley for a while - and can attest that when enough people use wood stoves the air can be pretty bad in the early morning due to cold air subsidence. For one locality to impose regulations isn't the problem. It's when the Feds resort to one-size-fits-all.

It is a problem anyways feds or local.

If it's a local government, it is fine. They can do whatever they want. If the federal government tried to do something like this though, I would be very upset.

Time to vote out the local govt. What's next? No grilling? No COOKING? No selling/eating meat?
