[Stoves] New blog on EPA announcement of certification overhaul

[Ronal Larson]

List and Crispin

	Thanks for this lead.

	1.  ThIs list will be glad to hear that this story has.nothing to do with cookstoves or (probably) anyone on this list - especially EPS’s Jim Jetter and John Mitchell.

	2.   Not sure of this part - but I suspect that the Biden administration is handling something better than the Trump administration.

	3.  A good bit more on the story at the forgreenheat websites given below. A good-looking site.

	4.   I found a nice list of text sites (heaing not cooking) - with several in Canada and Europe. I’ll bet they all would find cookstove testing trivial - and maybe interesting.
