A well insulated Community oven, less wood, more efficient use of resources, on site coppiced tree supply and local meat and veg supply and a place to park your bike.

Sounds good, where can I sign up for this utopia?

Now you're talking politics. How about the Pizza Oven Party.Back to sustainability where people do things for themselves, living more simply, debt free with lots of cooking and eating. Building a wood fired oven can be the start of a personal revolution. Sounds just like an Italian tradition.

At $8 a litre we will be discussing steam powered wheelbarrows!! That's progress?

A rocket stove fired steam generator. We will be talking about wood miles rather than food miles.

Obviously the pro timber lobby is losing pace with the fossil fuel fellas'. If only we could all own enough land to coppice our own firewood.

I do, its called the state forest and I can collect firewood from the designated areas without a permit......

Gudday
Petrol at $8 a litre would cripple the price of transporting wood to the urban areas as well, we would all be forced to collect wood on foot from our local surrounds. Sobering thought as I have never brought wood but need the ute to transport it

The estimate is that there will be 1 Million more vehicles belching out fossil fuel fumes on the roads in Australia in the next 20 years, and yet wood fires are on the hit list?

We might be ok if the CSIRO prediction is right

The price of petrol could soar to a crippling $8 a litre over the coming decade, according to CSIRO-sponsored research to be released today.
