With combustion one teaspoon of coal will heat an average house for about eight seconds, with fission one teaspoon of enriched uranium will heat the average home for nine months. I think nuclear power is the answer to the question no one is asking.

"with fission one teaspoon of enriched uranium will heat the average home for nine months." Know where I can buy some of that? Or a small home sized reactor?

I won’t disagree on the surface, though getting nuclear through the NRC,EPA,Huffpo process is near impossible. Dropping a load of coal by the house is still in play.

Convert those teaspoons to dollars and then we’ll talk a little more.

In contrast a teaspoon sized solar panel will produce about 70 milliwatts. Might be enough to charge a cell phone, but you would lose that much heat with a tablespoon-sized area of window.
