Retrofitting everyone for woodstoves? I can't see it happening. How many woodstoves would we need, for example? Our little stove can be used to heat the downstairs from rat room to stairway, and the bedroom and computer room directly above it. Not the bedroom above the kitchen, really. So maybe half the house.
We could chop down all the trees on our property and burn them; it might take a few years to use them all. But then what? And we actually have the property with the trees.
Not that I'm saying that there's an infinite supply of oil -- there isn't -- but I do sometimes get a cynical streak when contemplating your situation, as you *have the money* to go green but most people do not.
