I can understand it being an issue in densely populated towns and cities .... out here where I can sit on my roof and count on my fingers the number of houses within sight (most being a mile plus away) and having chosen the place to be Off-Grid (small-scale Wind, Solar and sustainable wood from our own managed forest) so as not to use polluting (certainly at the time) 'grid' electricity for the last 35 years, I don't feel inclined to give my woodburner and Rayburn up for something driven by unreliable mains power we can't access anyway. The last three decades have built us up a pretty hefty 'carbon halo' compared to if we'd been grid connected when most of that time grid-power was still using historically dirty fuels like coal.

My wood cutting/drying/storage regime has popped up on a couple of threads here already in passing 🙂
