re: #298 Thanos

This is one of the adverse consequences of high energy prices and taxation. Wood burning will become more popular the higher prices go, and that hurts the carbon balance by removing trees as well as adding to pollution. When I was in Alaska in June I found a lot of people reverting back to their woodstoves, and that’s not a good thing.

I can only speak for myself. We only cut diseased, dead or down trees. With the infestation of the emerald ash bore, last years ‘hurricane’, and Kentucky sitting on mostly rock, decent wood in these parts is plentiful for the short term. I cut and stacked 3 years this summer.
