How is -50 degrees and no heat for your health?
There are other forms of heat. Natural gas, propane and electrical which do not hurt the air quality as bad. But there's only one source of air to breath unlike energy sources.

Those things aren't available or practical in remote Alaska.

Ok, then who is going to pay for such infrastructure in remote locations? This has been done for warmth since man discovered fire. I'm willing to bet at the coldest time of the year in Alaska with the most wood being burned their air is cleaner than what we get from the chemical plants and refineries up and down the Mississippi River. The EPA has gotten completely out of hand to the point where cattle will probably start being taxed for farts if left unchecked. Good thing a change is in the air for their ridiculous policies.

How do you think fifty fires in an Alaskan village stacks up particulate/person to literally any operating electrical power plant? Do you think electricity is magic?
