My daughter just bought a home in Fairbanks on the city steam heat system, waste heat from the electric plant near downtown. The place is a duplex, and the ENTIRE heat bill for a year for both apartments, AND the domestic hot water included, is $1,000. Not bad for old technology!

EPA’s particulate standards harder for Fairbanks to meet as wood burning grows
Increased wood and coal burning for heating in the Fairbanks area has local officials concerned about fine particulate pollution. Borough Air Quality Specialist Jim Connor says the tiny airborne particles, released by combustion, have been recognized as a serious health concern. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drastically tightened standards for fine particulates in 2006 to reflect the new research which implicated them in everything from asthma attacks to heart and lung disease.
