A wood stove is an excellent piece of infrastructure to protect a house that can freeze solid if the electricity goes out.

When we lose power, we can't even flush the toilets because we have an electric well pump. (We should get a generator, perhaps). But I can always go outside and find some wood and keep the house from freezing and bursting. (I guess it also requires me to be here, to be transparent)
