The days of having your home heated with a wood furnace may be going away in New York State. There's a pending law in New York that will begin to outlaw heating devices that create carbon emissions.

This bill known as the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act was signed in 2019 and will start to have a big impact in 2022.

That would suck for me.

Burning with wood is carbon neutral so it just sounds like more political BS. I would be looking for another place to live.

They really aren't worried about you polluting, they just haven't figured out how to tax it yet!

Does that mean you cant use electricity, or natural gas, or coal. Its going to get mighty cold up there in the winter.

Interesting consider that the UK is a large importer of Amazon rain forest to power their electric generation grid. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-en...xpansion of,help keep the lights on in the UK.

Please can you provide your source for that information.

I can only find evidence for UK power stations burning North American wood. Still, it is crazy transporting wood across the Atlantic, burning heavy fuel oil in ship engines.

Just do a search about the deforestation of the Amazon rain forest. A lot of the deforestation is done to clear land for farming, but a lot of that wood is being exported to the EU to be used for power generation. Its also true that a lot of the timber is simply slashed and burnt on site. Lots of claims that buring wood is carbon neutral, the trees consume the carbon when they regrow, partialy true, but it takes a tree 50 years or more to use back that carbon that was released in a matter of hours while it is burning.

Trees are carbon neutral. When they die and decay they release the C02 that was removed back into the air. No more or less. It is the same when they are burned. I will agree one may occur at a faster rate than the other but who cares.

Another "law"that will be ignored. Just like it's illegal to use kerosene indoor heaters in a home. Has been for a long time but all the box stores sell them.

 

[mga]

NYS also has a new law for cars, trucks and motorcycles: They MUST have OEM exhaust on them or they can't pass inspections. If you get caught driving with loud or no mufflers the fines start at $100 and up to $1,000 All thos harleys and crotch rockets (and car and trucks) are in for some major changes

the problem is neighbors and Karens and people who think greta thumberg is a goddess will turn you in now that they have a green light to complain about smoke, etc. I know, we lived in NYS for years

keep in mind that logic and facts don't concern environmentalists and global warming alarmists

Not a new law . Been illegal to tamper with exhaust since the 60s . Glass packs have been illegal since then too.

All they did was increase the fines for loud exhaust but the law is so vague that it cant be redily enforced. To check an exhaust that's "loud" you need to have a sound meter 10 feet behind the vehicle that's been certified and no other traffic in the vicinity. I've beaten several "loud" exhaust tickets over the years. It's not just the officer saying it was loud .

the "loud exhaust" bill was just introduced in 2021. usually inspoections didn't bother checking if you had glass packs, or even no mufflers on a motorcycle. Now it mandatory in order to pass.

New York is the next commiefornia, Gross.

I believe the ban will be on new wood heating devices being sold in the future Not already in use just like California's law .
