Reply to comment by Pink_Slyvie in PUC launches investigation into PPL billing issues by SonGoku_USA

Wood stoves are definitely nice to have for backup. I think a heat pump with a wood stove for supplemental/backup heat would be perfect. It's just not ideal for everyone. Many people just want to flip a switch. Not to mention the wood itself. Finding and splitting your own wood makes it worth it, but its too physically demanding for many people. With the price of cord wood, it just doesn't seem like it would save you much money over alternatives.

Solar and batteries are also a great solution, but most of this is moot, as most people rent now.

68% own 32% rent

That's not most.

Please provide data for PA.

My point still largely stands, those of us who need to cut every cost we can, tend to be renters, and we have no path to home ownership.
