    We heat with wood. Best heat ever.

    Heats up the house nice and warm, and cheap to boot.

    Last year we heat the house all winter for about $500. Less than 1/10th what it would cost with fossil fuel.

    Use Gov. FatAss' hot air rhetoric; you and 100 neighbours could have heated the houses for FREE xD
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Sadle Ryan with a politician? It may be a free source of hot air, but what did he ever do to you to deserve THAT?

    Depending on your stove, you might be able to retrofit it (With minimal work) to use waste oil or wood. I just saw a Youtube video of a guy who did it. Use wood? Load it in, and burn. Want to burn off some waste oil? Insert burning can, turn on blower fan, and start dripping oil. Pretty slick.

    The guy was burning filtered used motor oil, and it burned clean, with no smell. He filtered it to get out the heavy metals to not cause contamination.

    I would rather use carbon neutral wood than oil.

    I recycle all of my used oil anyway.

    In the case of Gov. Christie, you could tap methane out of that source too. Copious amounts of methane.
