Solar panels,wind power are super sources of energy


but they work only sometimes according to weather.


Use uranium (if you own a power plant) and because of radiation after its used up scientists can recharge them for a big price.or else use water power if there is a river (actually i am thinking of attaching a pinwheel to a generator and puuting it under a tap and fill a bucket full of water)


if you have cows and cowdung you can produce methane.


I think solar's the best here and methane (might be stinky)


im not so sure about recharging


i hope so that helped

HAVE YOU INSULATED TO THE MAX TO BE MORE EFFICIENT ? HOW ABOUT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE PANE WINDOWS ? WEATHER SEALS ON DOORS AND WINDOWS ? ALL OF THESE ARE ONE TIME EXPENSES AND WILL SAVE NO MATTER WHAT WAY YOU USE TO HEAT WITH .
You should probably try stuff thats cheaper in ur area, like my area electricity is really really cheap so i use electricity to power my heaters.
Do what DC says plus install a heat pump. It will heat down to about 30 degrees outside temp . Lower temps will need your oil system to kick in.
electric storage heaters also make sure house especially attic is fully insultated
Go Solar!
