I'v long thought that the BS environmental policies that are so heavy in today's media are pale in comparison to what we are going to face for energy crisis in the (not so distant) future.
Putting emissions controls on new diesel pickups to make them "clean" while grossly increasing fuel consumption is one of the STOOPIDEST things I've ever heard of.

I spend alot of time "scheming" on better, cheaper ways to heat buildings. Certainly haven't found the silver bullet. Seems like with the poor management of the forests here in the west, Biomass is a viable solution, but as you say, very labor intensive. I have visions of Hog fuel/wood chips delivered into a bulk bin and auger fed into a boiler/furnace.
Good insulation and draught control HAS to be a major consideration NOW. As the price of it will likely follow the cost of energy.
