I hereby encourage everybody to pick up fluorescents, LEDs and metal
halides instead of old incandescents -- the wood oven part is however
a pure insurance on my part. I expect to things become somewhat
nasty during impending economic turmoil, and methane to become
scarce and/or expensive for the duration. Wood and especially coal
wouldn't work for dense industrial centers, mostly for emission
reasons.

You should be clean with a modern fuel pellet oven, though. All of this
is short-term, in 15-30 years suburbia should be net energy
producer. 

Of course the usual other suggestions do apply: house insulation,
energy-efficient home appliances, solar thermal, heat pump, etc.
