This woman lives in the small mountain town of Wrightwood, California
Even though she lives in the mountains, she’s not allowed to have a wood burning stove
When the electricity goes out, and it goes out all the time, she can’t keep warm because California regulations
She has a fake chimney that’s just for show because she’s not allowed to have the wood burning stove
I had to research to find the town she lives in but once I did I realized why there are these regulations. It’s so ridiculous
Her home is newer construction so it falls under stricter California Green Building Standards (CALGreen) + local Air Quality Management District (AQMD) rules
New construction cannot install new wood-burning fireplaces or stoves
The goal is reducing wood smoke pollution
So she has to freeze when the power goes out because it could smell like wood burning for a little bit
California has to vote Red
