Market Farming

[Brian Luton <bcluton AT aol.com>]

I think the point that Ann is making is consider the costs and perceived 
future costs of your fuel source in your particular area - as well as the 
efficacy of any particular heating system for your situation.  Up front 
costs, management style, etc. 

Pellets can be costly. Or not. Oil can be "free", or not.  Energy is changing 
all the time.

 I've mentioned this example in the past but its worth noting again - in our 
area a few years back yellow grease generators (restaurants, etc.) and 
chipped wood generators (tree services, municipalities, etc) were paying to 
get rid of the stuff.  Now they're either personally capturing its 
heating/fuel value or selling it to those that will.  Availability with some 
of the "free" byproduct energy sources can be challenging...and/or fleeting.
