In northeastern states, the oil and propane used to heat buildings represent a key vulnerability to the triple challenges of peak oil, climate change, and economic collapse. The natural, relocalizing solution is to use wood heat. District heating, on a small or large scale gives the convenience of thermostatically controlled heat, with all the benefits of wood as a fuel--but no fuel to lug into or ash to take out of each building.
