The existence of people for whom burning wood is the only way to heat their homes in winter now does not preclude the possibility of a future where people can choose to use thermoelectric facilities for cooking or (in winter) heating when weather allows, and use electricity from other sources (batteries or mains) at other times. (In my view there is hardly anything especially manly or romantic in buying fuel for a modern pellet stove. As far as I know unless one literally owns a forest one can’t legally go around chopping down trees in most countries. Chopping may be a good exercise though.)
