Sorry, I forgot to post the local newspaper article that makes that post relevant.
Here is an excerpt.
Electrical usage records close to record highs are still being recorded by Cleveland Utilities and Volunteer Energy Cooperative as customers ward off the cold weather lingering in Tennessee.
Volunteer Energy Vice President of Marketing and Economic Development Patty Hurley said customers have set several peaks at substations in nine service areas during January and February.
Cleveland Utilities customers set a new peak Jan. 16 at 8:15 a.m. On that morning, power consumption reached 233.23 megawatts to keep warm against the 9 degree temperature. The 10 mph wind made it feel like it was about 5 degrees below zero.

Maybe they need an ice storm to cut the power useage! lol
Yes, having the wood stove has many, many benefits. I can't imagine being without one.
