Oil is clean energy. So are coal and wood.

I will be primarily heating with wood this coming winter. I have an extremely efficient Castleton wood burning stove made of cast iron and soapstone. My fir / oak mix is at <8% moisture, and I have the next year’s worth of fir and maple laying in the yard to split this month.

I can cook on the stove when the power goes out.

My wife really likes a fire. :-)

My installation looks close to this one, except I vent out the back through the 100 year old stacked rock fireplace and rebuilt chimney.
