I guess this is one of the other articles it is referencing: https://www.mainepublic.org/2025-11-20/wood-banks-in-maine-are-increasing-in-number-so-is-the-need-for-heat https://www.mainepublic.org/2025-11-20/wood-banks-in-maine-a... Communal chopping of firewood is something I remember from like.... two decades ago? Maybe it's less of a "collapse" thing, and more of a "we haven't invested enough time & resources to get better cheap distributed heating solutions that don't create so much pollution"? Human volunteer power to cut down some local trees is a lot cheaper than, e.g., buying a geothermal installation, with solar and battery backup (battery backup would need to last for days in rural Maine if a winter storm breaks the solar).
