Sure there’s reason to log: a few people can make their profits temporarily increase, and provide jobs for a few dozen people.

Is it a good reason? No. But it’s a reason, and I came up with it after a second’s reflection.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

It's a perfect example of privatizing profits while socializing costs. Horgan and Eby will be remembered for sitting on the solution while the last of are forests are razed to the ground.

That's what kerosene space heaters are for.

Newer homes do tend to have mini splits, though. Not sure how well insulated they are.
