The Alliance for Green Heat promotes residential wood heat as an affordable, local and low carbon alternative to fossil fuel heating. Wood heat is the “people’s renewable” and it deserves similar incentives and rebates as the other renewables. The goal of the Alliance is to get next generation equipment incentivized and get the older, more polluting stoves and boilers out of circulation. Why is this a social justice issue? Because a modern $2,000 wood or pellet stove can lower a household carbon footprint by the same amount as many $20,000 solar PV systems – around 4 tons. But in America, the wealthy families installing solar and geothermal get the tax incentives and rebates and the low and middle-income families get virtually nothing for installing modern, clean wood systems.

PS. This is also a great chance for the wood heat community to get some very positive visibility in environmental circles.
