>>13932387Fuck, I thought you were being sarcastic.
>>13932660The main problem is with codes, not with safety. If done well, it isn't unsafe (or it isn't less safe then any wood burning apparatus). But imho it's the best in every possible respect. Btw check out the latest French design, one that is really efficient:
https://youtu.be/XyyedtU4s-Y>>13933298>solar generates twice as much energySure, but solar ain't low-tech, low-maint, low-cost, etc... I think solar power is good for off-grid considerations, but it might not be a good investment if you have access to cheap electricity otherwise. If you build a house from ground up then passive solar considerations are way cheaper, more efficient and more durable. If you have low-energy consumption, solar may also be a bad investment. If you have a pool to heat on the other hand, it might be a good idea. Obviously, there are loooads of considerations with solar or with any other renewable power source.
>fluidized beds for thermal energy storageInteresting.
