Obviously natural gas is costing more and more, and there is potential for actual interruptions of supply in the not-distant future. This may be an even more pressing issue than oil, and at least in our region, corn for heat may be one of the most viable forms of "biomass" energy available. Here's a website at Pennsylvania State University with some helpful and apparently objective information about corn stoves: <a href="http://energy.cas.psu.edu/shellcorn.html" title="http://energy.cas.psu.edu/shellcorn.html" rel="nofollow">http://energy.cas.psu.edu/shellcorn.html</a></p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/groups/peoria" class="og_links">Central Illinois Sustainable Living Network</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://relocalize.net/node/1839">read more</a></p> http://relocalize.net/node/1839#comments Central Illinois Sustainable Living Network Wed, 21 Dec 2005 11:27:02 -0800 Dave Thompson 1839 at http://relocalize.net
