Solar panels still worth it?

Basically, one person burning a log fire for heating is responsible for putting out more pollution than an entire town of people using electric or heatpump tech for heating...

We couldn't afford the feedstock to have more than a few doing it, and for sure, the earth couldn't survive more than a few doing it pollutionwise...

Sure 'we did it' for centuries- but there were far fewer of us, we also had a far shorter lifespan, and almost all peoples lives were a hell of a lot less 'nice' than we have today...

Psychologically there’s nothing quite like an open fire. As a young kid, several times a year we had this big camp fire at cubs. We were all given a toasting fork, a pork sausage and a piece of bread to toast. Even wood burning stoves are very attractive. The evidence now though is that it’s not just polluting the general environment but also the very rooms in which they’re operating. A friend has been using a wood stove for many years and every time I visit him I can smell what I assume is something like wood tar. It’s not completely unpleasant but it can’t be healthy. If I lived there I’d have to do something about the smell but I guess he’s so used to it he doesn’t notice it anymore?

They may be nice to watch, but having one in your home is equal if not worse than smoking cigarettes or having a car running in your living room all the time in terms of health risks...

You need to spend a minute thinking about that.
