Hope and change your living it. 2006.
Clearing the woods is not a big deal. We (we again😂) have electric cars, electric bikes and electric spliffs to fight climate change!😩
I love wood heat, don't get me wrong here, but I also love to point out hypocrisy, the hypocrisy is this creates more carbon emissions again, after all, you are turning wood into coal, propane and natural gas is much cleaner burning, but the Biden dummies are at war with it and Gasoline, they just keep attacking every source of heat and cleaner and more efficient substitutes for even worse worse ones, they want to convert to electric but not dump any money into better R+D to make it efficient enough for life. or make any fixes to they extremely taxed grid, or regulate price gouging! They just keep talking out their butts and not putting the Taxpayers money where it belongs! We are being taxed to repay debts they should never have created in the first place and that is all our tax money is good for now!!! Paying off their extravagant debts and fanning the flames of wars that don't should not concern us!
Here in Gustine, CA I am wondering what I can do. My Gas bill was $280 this month. I keep the thermostat at 66 during the day and 60 at night! To add insult to injury, I have a wood burning stove that I can't use, due to air quality restrictions! My 90 y.o. mother lives with me and is freezing!

If you run out of wood, start burning garbage to help stay warm
Adult kids are trying to delete our fireplaces
They just went up 14% from what I found under Google which is not good for anyone who wants to keep warm and be able to cook I agree with you I do not disagree I was raised up in famosa grandmother's name was Elizabeth Grimm I am her granddaughter my grandmother passed away a long time ago but she's always taught us the way to stay warm it's to using fireplaces and Grandma and Marvin Boyd spended the same thing using a BBQ cooker or a rotisserie to cook on fireplaces are made to keep us warm without it you would freeze to death when the electricity goes out the only way to keep worm is fireplaces and little fireplace burners
In Oregon they're trying to change our fireplaces to electronic heat and oil is rising if there was cold weather how would they Heat their house without a fireplace when the electricity goes out are they going to freeze without no fireplace they would not have no heat no way to cook they would end up having to use a barbecue how are they going to stay warm please explain to these young ones if you taste and use electricity when the electricity goes out how would they keep warm without no way of no heat without a fireplace
Help tell the names of these log trees.
Joe Biden – I did that
A wood burning stove doesn't quit heating your home when the power grid goes down. You can also use it for cooking. You won't appreciate that until you live off in the mountains and the power goes out for a few days. It can literally be the difference between life and death.
"My dad worked for his wood, we are just glad we can sit at home and it arrives to us like Amazon prime"
I find these news guys hilarious, i heat my newly built house with a wood stove. We've got a top of the line new heat pump, but i installed a stove too. I live on 5 acres of heavily wooded property. So i won't be using the heat pump any time soon. I wouldn't call splitting wood dangerous, exercise yes but not dangerous. Also get a good stove and insulate your home well then you won't get up in the middle of the night to reload the fire
america is regressing into a stoneage
Wood is unaffordable I heat my entire trailer using glass shelves with mirrors on the back for knick knacks I put 3 to 5 tea light candles on each shelf they stay lit all night it's about 30 degrees outside I can safely make it around 75 to 80 inside for only a few dollars. My home isn't weather proofed or sealed half my windows are stuck cracked open there's no insulation and the trick works for my family.
Let's chop down the Forrest to keep everyone warm. But what happens when it's gone?
But Jumpin' Joe tweeted out he's never been more optimistic about the future (and all the Dem cultists will believe him)
For mom, this brings back war time rationing as far as food goes. If we were at a declared war, maybe I'd understand more. Can't corporations scale back profit taking when things are this bad?
The war on energy is creating fuel poverty.
Wind farms don’t work and cost a fortune.
1:33 "FuckYourCounty" 😂
Gary doesn't know
Wake up, get out of bed and put more wood? We just add a blanket, lol.
Fuckher county lol
***FACT– All the trees would be gone in less than a year if most people heated their homes w/wood.
You're warmer when you're naked under the sheets than in pjs… I'm warmer w/o clothes when its cold inside… TRY IT.
" Incredibly dangerous and time consuming " Says Gary!! 🤣 Wow , seriously!! Also the cost of wood has gone way up on cost just like the fuel has. Nothing is cheaper anymore unless you are an illegal crossing the border, then everything is free!! I am glad there are people out there helping people with wood to burn to stay warm. God speed to the individuals helping the needy that are not illegal and who are US citizens and that need help!
Your sadists.
They really did not address the efficiency of heating with wood. Getting up to put wood on the fire is a matter of convenience not efficiency. A good wood stove and an insulated house can be efficient especially if you can't affort propane.
Free wood is cheaper than paying for fuel, you don't say?! 🤔
Energy prices haven't even gone up for me.
This is a first world country ? Hardly were like a second world country right next to mexico
