Low IQ response. Imagine why.

Nah. Go medicate yourself at your own tap and toothpaste tube. My laundry and shower water and soup doesn't need fluoridation.

Dang. $5.35 a gallon of #2 heating oil burning at 80% efficiency, well that's $0.0000482 per captured BTU.

Maybe I'll install a steam turbine atop my outdoor wood boiler's chimney to reclaim some of that lost energy converted to steam.

With maple firewood at $275 per cord providing 24,000,000 BTUs/cord burning at 70% efficiency, I'm paying $0.0000164 per captured BTU.

With #2 heating oil at $4 per gallon providing 138,690 BTUs/gal at 80% efficiency, I'm paying $0.0000361 per captured BTU.

80% efficient #2 heating oil priced at $0.0000361 per captured BTU costs 120% more than 70% efficient maple firewood priced at 0.0000164 per captured BTU.

Trade offs are fine with me.

I paid $275 a cord this year and I usually go through +7 cords plus pay about $300 for help stacking totaling $2,225. Vermont's a 7 month heating season so that averages to project $320 a month for me in 2022/23.

Firewood types provide various BTU values but home heating oil BTU is , so I bet a model of Dollars/BTU comparison between oil and various firewood types would be the best approach for answering this.

I found this home heating fuel calculator online which might help. You can adjust variables such as price per unit, BTUs per Unit and Efficiency.

It's NIMBYism, where the same folks who complain about the limited housing supply also work against solutions for housing by pushing after policies that disencentive developers from developing.

Cabot Plains by the AM Foster covered bridge from the Cabot Plains Rd offers a wide open colorful view of many summits making up the spine of the Green mountains and into Quebec. You'll see a covered bridge, a marble quarry, the Lowell windfarm, Jay Peak, Mt. Mansfield, Camel's Hump, Lincoln Peak/Mt. Abe and more. It's peak there and also not very crowded with leaf peepers.

Jury nullification!

Jury nullification.

Let the protest movement extend to inviting persons selected for jury duty to use jury nullification to save all persons who get arrested on warrants for unpaid fines and suspended license driving connected to failing state inspections for a misplaced registration sticker, small windshield crack, windshield wipers, foggy headlamps, duck tape patching a hole on the body not structure.

And if fines are not paid as a form of protest?

Right, we don't want to be like Minnesota, Montana, South Dakota, Michigan, Alaska, where their highways are littered with the abandoned burned out wreckages of rust bucket vehicles because they don't have state inspections.

Nobody is claiming a periodic inspection for frame integrity isn't reasonable.

Imagine a year where a critical mass of car owners simply refused to participate in state inspection as protest. It would be glorious.
