Solar heating and wood fire warmth offered in Bennington
Jim Wolfe of Bennington promotes solar energy ideas and a Burlington made New England Fireplace Heater as a supplementary heat source. The device uses a blower to push superheated air through steel tubes, claiming 25 000 BTUs and about 4 cents daily electricity, with 40 percent wood savings. A $145 unit comes with a free demonstration. Wolfe seeks customer and supplier encouragement amid federal funding talks for a solar research institute and no tax breaks for solar users.
