Buy a wood stove or wood furance and property that has trees to sustain a long term cutable yield. If you heat your home with your own wood there is no tax on it. That is as long as they do not tax my CO2 output of my chimney. However, right now the govt. percieves wood fiber/cellulos as carbon neutral.

FYI, I am moving to a property that has about 12 acres of mixed hardwoods. My first purchase after moving in will be the largest wood stove that Jotul or Vermont Castings makes. These cast iron stoves are between 75-80% efficent. There are also wood gasification furnaces available today that burn at a efficency rate in this range.

I am sure there are other ways to avoid the taxes on energy coming our way.

Been there, done that for 30 years

I sold my stove and no longer make the effort to find, gather and split the wood. I don’t miss the labor but do miss the smell and feel of the fire

Those who can do as you say are trivial to the urban hordes of looters and takers who will pay the trickle down tax.

The impact will be lightend as it becomes part of the general inflation and all prices rise
