Three weeks ago, I've replaced the gas stove with an induction stove (on overcapacity of my solarpanels) and heated the house with wood (trees felled by storms). I've spent €78 less on gas. Money that would otherwise flow to Russia.
@sneak you won't ever encounter my woodsmoke. I live remote. There are ~12 houses in 1km² (all burn wood)
I'm not saying you should burn wood in Berlin.
Please be more open to people's different situations.
@berkes it reenters those 12 houses and harms the inhabitants. you should never burn wood within 1km of any human, it is a health hazard. gas is a zillion times safer.
@sneak also: if all of private people .nl were to cut their ng usage with 2/3rd, netherlands would be independent of russian gas. Billions of €s not flowin there.
@sneak whats more: I live on the german border on the riverbanks of the main river into the Ruhrpott. Some 15+ giant ships each bringing 16000tonnes of coal to Germany to burn there for electricity and heat. Coal is about as bad as wood, but the CO₂is far worse'cause it wasn't captured in the last decades.
@sneak ~thats some 15*16000 tonnes *per day*
