Shortly after the re-election of President Obama, the agency announced new radical environmental regulations that threaten to effect people who live off the grid. The EPA’s new environmental regulations reduce the amount of airborne fine-particle matter from 15 micrograms to 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
This means that most wood burning stoves would now fall into a class that would deemed unacceptable under these new draconian measures. The EPA has even launched a nifty new website called burn wise to try to sway public opinion.

+7OK..I want to know which politician just bought wood burning stove stock! Pelosi, are you at it again?
I know this sounds conspiratorial, but what has the EPA done but to make energy more expensive for those who can least afford it. Energy costs effect food costs, because of the use of energy in production and transportation. Those of us in the lower income category can barely afford staples, even with government assistance. The idea, it seems, is to let those on fixed income and/or below the poverty level freeze and starve to death. As Nancy Pelosi said, "The fewer poor people there are, the less it costs in the long run."

It's too bad the stoves they "approve" don't create nearly as much heat as they could if they let the free market decide on what works best. Less wood would be burned in the long run.
Do pay attention to Bullfrog's comment as well. We're in high cold country, with propane furnace which is expensive and won't work without electricity. That may be true with many pellet stoves as well.
