Ecodesign is a broad EC project, it's been the reason for phasing out
incandescent lamps, low powered hoovers, expensive 'intelligent' central
heating pumps, etc ... woodburners are just the next thing in their
sights, along with kettles, hairdryers etc.


How to make all old kit obsolescent by regulation.

Ther is a vacuum cleaner called a Henry. It is exactly what a vacuum
cleaner is supposed to be. A creator of a vacuum, enough tips to suck
effectively on any surface, and a bag to hold the **** in. It has a
reliable easy to use cable storage built in too.

It costs less than half ant advertised make of vacuum cleaner and lasts
forever. Parts are available cheaply to fix it.,

How else can you render it obsolete than by declaring it has a more
powerful motor than it should have?

EU regulation is not about improving anything more than the profits of
manufacturers whose products have already saturated the market.

(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.€
