>> I am NO Obama fan, but these kind of articles are simply nonsense.This is ridiculous propaganda designed to rile people up over nothing.
@ForeCPA90: Well it is just a grant for research.
But I do find it interesting that as a subject it even came up.Since industrial and commercial BBQ's have to have some particulate catch system, as I understand it, that pretty much leaves home BBQ's for the research.So that begs the question, why?Does home BBQ'ng create that much air pollution?And since both gas and charcoal are in the study, and it is related to oil vaporization (not charcoal emissions), what's next, pan frying in the house. Will residents need a particulate catch system in our vent hood?Or is the study there to create "awareness" for air pollution and global climate change to bend the will of the average american to the governments way of thinking?Sometimes it is not about the actual "thing", but more about assimilation.
@FoFa: It is similar to the water metering device (where it claimed the EPA wants to monitor your hotel water). College students are developing a school project, and if they can claim an environmental benefit, they can apply for a grant from the EPA to help fund the product. They are developing something they hope to sell to grill manufacturers, just like the University of Tulsa students are hoping to develop a device to sell to hotels. My main issue is not so much with anyone who has a problem with what is going on, its more the flat out false information that gets put out there to drive the point home. This was a nominal grant to fund a student project, not a Presidential order to ban my back yard grilling.
