Wood stoves equipped with thermoelectric generators can produce electricity that is more sustainable, more reliable, and less costly than power from solar PV panels.
Found this on the lowtech magazine. What are your toughts?
The article mentions thermoelectic generators only make sense when used with fossil fuels, they aren’t very useful with electric heating, as presumably the user then already has access to a grid or some other more powerful form of renewable electricity.
