was cheaper.

Still is, I just had a look and forestry is still selling permits for $16 a tonne. Currently only available further away than I used to get so the fuel part of the cost would rise if I had a fire at the moment, but it'd be noticeably cheaper and better than paying more to feel colder like I currently am with an air con setup.

sunlight is plentiful and battery tech will store and dole out that power all night.

Given cost is an issue I don't think I'm going to be pulling ~$50k out of my arse to install a solar and battery setup that might be able to run a heater all night.

lol downvote away it’s not changing physics you dingus

Well I see you've downvoted my comment and I hadn't downvoted yours, but that's about to change.
