The scale of this response confirms the level of public interest in these regulatory amendments. I am currently coordinating a formal meeting with the borough assembly to address their pending authority over air quality control.

As a single mother it is cheaper for me to harvest wood then pay for fuel. I currently and for the last several years only have a wood stove as my homes heating source. It is essential for me, as I am sure it is for others also, to be able to keep and use year round my wood stove.
The Borough should not be involved in the implementation of this plan. The State wants it, they should have to pay to implement it.
Leave the stoves alone
leave the stoves and get rid of DEC
wood stoves in alaska, are different then lower 48. but much more nessasary. and are needed most when temparature are lowest. if the epa dec and bourough are really concered. then they need to do more to provide answers. like dry wood business or catalitic chimney converters. it would be better to come along side the people then to attack them. after all we are just trying to stay warm. the stove swap program was a joke and did not allow the average person to exchange. but at least was some effort. the best and cleanest and most efficent heat source, is electricity. but haigh cost and availability in bad weather make it unreliable. the fact that the utility gets away with legalize exstortion, does not help the issue. the fact is wood stoves are more reliable and efficentt and more praticle in fairbenks the small emission is not as harmfull as the advoctes would make it. monitoring is highly selected and designed to fail. besides, carbon dioxide is better then carbon monoxide. and mcdonalds puts out more polutent the the average wood stove.
People should be allowed to burn responsible.
With out sounding too cliché, if you want my wood stove you'd better bring ATF with you becaus you'll have to try to take my gun at the same time!
