Wood isn't a feasible heating resource for a lot of people. I agree. I'm in a situation where I can take advantage of relatively free heat and I'm going to do so. Even with prices the way they are, my entire heating bill up to this point since early September has been under $1000 and that includes having a filled tank Monday. I won't be saving money on heating for a few years due to the initial investment of putting in the chimney and wood appliance.

While wood isn't feasible now for a lot of people, just imagine how feasible oil will be once it's $10 a gallon. That's less than three times what it is now. One big hurricane and it is very likely it'll get into the $8/gallon range on it's own.

Be pissed/blind/stubborn all you want. Either do something to take care of yourself or be one of the people crying to the government when the inevitable arrives.
