House Passes Congressman Smith's Protection For Wood Stove Users

Press Release

Today, the House of Representatives passed Congressman Jason Smith's amendment to eliminate new Obama EPA regulations on wood stoves by a bipartisan vote of 247-177. The amendment was added to H.R. 8, the North American Energy Security and Infrastructure Act, which increased innovation, security and reliability of American-made energy.

"People I talk with are sick of this administration's War on Rural America. Rules like these disproportionately hurt rural areas, which use much more wood heat than urban or suburban areas. Times are already tough enough. Folks should not be punished for their self-reliance and their forethought to take advantage of an abundant, eco-friendly fuel like wood."
