> I disagree with that article for the simple reason that I do not consider burning wood to be sustainable, or healthy for anything with lungs. Wood should be used for long-lasting construction or left alone / carefully nurtured to aid our forests in rebuilding biodiversity.

In Northern Canada there is almost no other way. Once you are ~10minutes out of town there is no natural gas. Also note wood stoves now are double (or triple) burning with catalytic combustors that extract waaaay more heat from the wood and emit waaaay less particles in the air (because they burn it)
