But not a very good one. The energy to weight ratio sucks, it leaves large amounts of ash, and, being solid, can't be used in any of the myriad applications that require liquid or gaseous fuel.
The cost to heat ratio is what I am concerned about. The electric/gas company tells me every year it costs more and more to keep my house at barely acceptable levels. Wood, on the other hand costs me almost exactly the same as it did the first year I started harvesting (I've gotten better at it, so it's actually cheaper).
I require no "specialized" tools or licenses to obtain, transport, refine, or consume it. A cord of wood will produce about 4 buckets of ash (about 1% of the total weight), which i will dump in the garden. I do not pay taxes on it, and the longer I hold on to it, the better it gets. There are actually ways of running your car on wood, though it requires more skill than most of the average population can handle. (Search Gasifier) Oil is the primary fuel for vehicles because it is almost stupid proof. Refueling your car is easier than feeding a baby; the pump will shut off when the car is full.
Didn't the US EPA recently place a total ban on heating homes with wood?
They better not drive down my block then.
You are muddling together millions of people with a bunch of different motivations and ideas.

I now have almost $150,000 in debt, ruined credit
Then aren't you the perfect candidate for bankruptcy?
and no job prospects
What the hell company did you spend $150k+ on that you have no marketable skills from? You are ether lying or a moron.

Jim Crow? seriously?
He's not talking about first run viewing ffs. He's talking about what is currently available for rent. If you can rent out the physical copy for $1-2 (say from redbox), a copy that has the ability to be copied and never rented again, then surely you can rent me a streaming version (that can't be copied and is of lessor quality than that of the blu-ray) of that same movie for the same price. They need to fix that problem.
What he said...

Didn't catch the guy with a known weapons trafficker...
All they have is hearsay from a guy kicked out of public office, probably with an axe (non-assault weapon) to grind...
