Home heating oil

[goddessfarmer]

On 10/02/01 the tank was filled.
on 11/10/03 the tank was topped off with 102.9 Gal
on 10/17/06 (today) we purchased 134.5 gal to fill the tank.
Firewood may be hard work, but I'm happy with it.

1. I didn't get any vibe from this that she was suggesting anything of the sort...

2. Trees grow back! You cut some down ,and you plant some!

3. I wouldn't consider trees green, I mean we use a chainsaw to cut ours up. And the smoke is not particularly clean. But, like I said they do grow back, so it is renewable, and they breath carbon dioxide while they grow, so there's that.

4. Money! We could never afford to heat our house with oil or whatever, which is one of the main reasons we do it.
The poorest of the poor heat their houses with wood ( o k maybe manure..)

Tree cutting can be fairly green - I have an electric chainsaw and a portable solar power system. We cut cordwood with a PTO-driven saw on our tractor, so while it uses diesel, it does so fairly efficiently and without a lot of smoke. I could build an electric cordwood saw too, and power it off our home solar electric system.
