Building bridges out of al dente spaghetti
I'm reading that Jeff Rubin book. I wish there was a way I could convince my wife to have us immediately replace our oil-burning furnace with an electric one. Electricity here in Quebec is almost 100% hydro electric so both with respect to the oil price going way high and emissions needing to be reduced, switching to an electric furnace would be better.

That is not a problem that I have ever faced. Power here is used to cool us down.
how viable is geothermal where you live? it might help.
as another alternative, how about converting your oil burner to propane, or at least butane? cheaper AND gooder for the environment? unless electricity there is peanuts. or like borscht.
i'm pretty sure you'd be insulated up the yin-yang.
a nice $ and pollution saving device is a tankless water heater. or a combination heater for space heating and tap water heating. i wonder if you dont have a gas pipe and thats why you have an oil furnace..? you can get gas delivered to you by truck. hope the truck runs on propane :)
