I agree and that's my point. Why not? Why aren't the PA politicians pushing for it. Why aren't the coal stove, boiler and furnace manufacturers pushing for it? Did anyone in NEPA ask the presidential candidates about it? Why not? Is the home town girl going to deliver to her supporters if she's the next President?

Good point......After all, didn't "the home town girl's" Grandfather show her how to shake down a hand fired & burn of the volatiles?

The problem is, solid fuel appliances = FREEDOM in fuel choice and the ability to get the fuel yourself, not suckling from the gov't teet.

Got $1500.00 tax credit for installing my OWB. Burn wood in the warmer months, a mix of coal and wood when it gets colder, straight coal in January and February. Buying Bit coal for $75 a ton 30 miles from the house.
