Woodburning is environmental friendly this is only one website... http://hawkenenergy.com/environmental/why_wood_is_safe.php Now if you talked about coal burning that is different. :-) I have a generator attached to the main as we do experience electric outages at times. I do not like gas as we have had too many houses blown up in our area due to faulty gas lines. This site was the only one I could find that did not hurt someone. http://blog.pe.com/breaking-news/2013/10/24/riverside-gas-leak-caused-house-to-blow-up-officials-say/ We had on the news last night a guy having 2 GSD's with dog houses and kennel outside. The neighbors reported him as they were concerned about the dogs, the guy only allowed them to put straw in for the dogs. I hope the dogs will be safe as the weather here is horrible here.

It seems that there would be a huge drag on the electric grid. Another worry would be the pollution from the wood and oil burning heaters. I guess if you are not outside for more than 5 minutes at a time it won't kill you.
