And, I suppose, we could do away with all home heating, and
just wear very heavy clothing all winter. But I don't know of
anyone doing that.

 
 I'm currently doing something similar to save firewood, which

Oh my gosh, that's outrageous!  A buddy and I cut firewood for a
living in Flagstaff one summer.  We charged $30 for a cord of pine
(cut, split, delivered and stacked),  Oak was $40.
