Reply to comment by Twombls in New England may not have enough natural gas to last the winter by mycophdstudent
Was quoting/replying to the guy above about NH, MA, and CT.
Also, lots of people in vt do indeed use wood but 95% is way way too high. Not to mention that there was a push towards exterior wood furnaces that require electricity and heat through water pipes running to the home, and a big push towards pellet stoves as well. And people who burn with wood stoves who also rely on oil or gas heat might not stack enough wood for winter to rely solely on wood so if something did happen they could burn through their supply too fast.

>may not be enough natural gas to provide for their electric grids, not that there will necessarily be a shortage of gas to heat homes
Heaters and heating systems tend to run on electricity....

Considering there's been newspaper articles and TV news segments on the books I'm sure they've caught wind of some people's irritations, and I'm pretty sure they really don't care what you guys think in all honesty.

Those cities are far away, we're well outside of the damage radius, and radioactive fallout wouldn't be a huge threat given the prevailing jet stream direction would take it away from us for the most part.

He has an adequate amount of flair for now, plenty of time to add more during an endless war I suppose.

What's with the American flag and American camo then

Judging by the American flag on the sleeve and the multi-cam pattern I think it's safe to say that's an American fighting in Ukraine

Also, just thought of another thing. Depending on where you live and the particular year at hand, the heating season may well run from September through May, or somewhere inside of those months. While fuel use during those tails might be vastly lower than mid winter that still means an 8-9 month heating season, and depending on those other factors I mentioned it would certainly be possible to burn an exceptional amount more than your 3 cords. This is especially true considering you say you only burn for 3 months.
Plus some people simply might not be well versed/skilled with their stoves even if they have an efficient EPA stove like yours and don't operate them at proper efficiency. So many factors, now that I think about it.

House size, stove size, stove efficiency, multiple stoves, old leaky house, poor attic insulation, no/minimal oil backup use, heat preference, etc.
For me: 5-6 cords, large EPA stove, 175 year old house with shit insulation, tend to only use oil in fall and spring and prefer to prevent it from kicking in over night/early morning and while away during the day so I basically always have the living room stove burning. On sub zero stretches I have an old non epa stove with an air blower in the basement that really pumps out heat. Can go lower than 5 cords if I burn more oil and can go more than 6 if I burn no oil.

Do you understand that your furnace's power draw is irrelevant if there is no power?
