Have you not heard of heat-pumps? I know they won't work according to old wive tales, but they actually do.

- reducesuffering 3y agoI'm not arguing that they don't work, but the "realistic" alternative is that people will still mostly use natural gas if they end up stopping wood-burning. Heat Pumps are also still using a mostly-fossil-fuel grid at times where there's the least solar and the grid is most carbon-intensive. Thus, wood burning is still the only carbon-neutral option. I'd still rather see heat pumps on a fully renewable grid, but we should have less carbon emissions getting there.
