One thing I'm still trying to wrap my head around is how Maine simultaneously has a lot of environmental protections in place while also almost every home I've seen uses a giant can of #2 heating oil to heat their house, and a nonzero number of people who have strong opinions about heating their house with a wood burning stove. Granted, I am not free of sin. My house has a giant tank of dinosaur juice in the basement because the plan to replace it with a heat pump is long and expensive. I will get there eventually though!
