First they "suggested" that we go vegan to Save The Planet.
Now Obama's storm troopers are going to regulate our backyard barbecues using the Clean Air Act.
The Environmental Protection Agency has its eyes on pollution from backyard barbecues.
The agency announced that it is funding a University of California project to limit emissions resulting in grease drippings with a special tray to catch them and a "catalytic" filtration system.
The $15,000 project has the "potential for global application," said the school.
The school said that the technology they will study with the EPA grant is intended to reduce air pollution and cut the health hazards to BBQ "pit masters" from propane-fueled cookers.
Charged with keeping America's air, water and soil clean, the EPA has been increasingly looking at homeowners, especially their use of pollution emitting tools like lawn mowers.
Get ready for the denials. If you like your barbecue, you can keep your barbecue.. Like we're gonna fall for that one again, right?
The EPA has already effectively outlawed wood burning stoves.
And we all know what they've done to destroy the coal industry in this country.
So using the same rules to regulate barbecues like mine is the logical next step.
Here's their first proposal:
The school is proposing two fixes to reduce emissions from barbecues. First, they want to cut back on grease flare-ups. The idea: "A slotted and corrugated tray is inserted immediately prior to meat flipping, and removed immediately after. This short contact time prevents the tray from over-heating and volatilizing the collected grease. This collected grease will then drip off into a collection tray and can be used at the pit master's discretion."
But it's the second phase that really shows how nuts these EPA clowns are:
But, total capture isn't "practical," so a filter and fan are proposed for installation. "The secondary air filtration system is composed of a single pipe duct system which contains a specialized metal filter, a metal fan blade, a drive shaft, and an accompanying power system with either a motorized or manual method. This system can be powered by either an exterior electric motor with a chain-driven drive shaft, directly spinning the fan blade, or a hand-powered crank," said the project write-up.
Good freaking grief!
Can you imagine anything so ridiculous? A smokestack and soot scrubbers encasing your backyard grill?
Yeah, that won't be expensive! Or cumbersome. Not to mention, batshit insane.
Typical EPA-approved smokestack scrubber setup. Substitute "your grill" for
"wet scrubber" and you'll get an idea of where they're going with this.
Can you imagine cooking ribs inside that contraption?
The Obamunists have got to be stopped. Now. Before they mess with
our grilled meat.
