Does anyone have one of those electric fireplace heaters/stoves? And if so, how do you like it?

I'm thinking about getting one but I'm not sure how affective they are or how even how realistic the flames look. Let me know if your happy with yours or not. Thank you!


Answer
I love mine, but I NEVER use it to heat. Way too expensive! Only for the appearance of a fireplace. The flames have fooled lots of people. Shop around. There are many different quality of stoves. Mine is a 5 year old Dimplex.

Is California's highest in the nation unemployment related to its highest in the nation taxburden?

@Eric, I am not saying it is the rich. It is the high taxes killing jobs in California.


Answer
The unemployment rate is tied to the business climate-taxes are only part of that.

Another part is the amount of crap you have to go through to get anything done in this state. It always seems to require 42 state agencies, any one of which can say no for any reason (or for no reason).

Here's one example--I basically can no longer use my fireplace because of "bad air quality". By any actual measure, the air quality is better than it was 10, 20 or 30 years ago, but they've redefined "bad air quality" so that many more days fall into that category.

And because I have a fireplace (which I'm not allowed to use), I'm legally required to have a carbon monoxide detector in my home, in case the fire that I'm not allowed to burn causes a carbon monoxide build up. The most recent data I ran across in a short search is from 1979-1988 (when you could use your fireplace basically every day if you wanted), where it showed that non-vehicle carbon monoxide inhalation caused 270 deaths. Not per year--for the entire decade.

Nearly 1/4 of those occured in cabins or tents (where people might do something like run a kerosene heater or stove to keep warm, and didn't properly vent it). So because an average of 21 people per year died in houses from carbon monoxide (that's .00009% of the state population at the time), I'm legally required to install and test a carbon monoxide detector-in fact, I could not legally sell the house without one, and I couldn't have any sort of construction done (even something like an electric water heater our in the garage). I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have one, but to legally require it!? That's just asinine.
