Some interesting (but invalid?) information.......
http://www.env-ne.org/resources/detail/state-heating-facts-reports-2012
Thing I don't understand is that for Maine they say on the second page that it costs about $2500 to heat your home a year with wood pellets. I know that isn't the case. On the second to last page you can see where they come up with the annual cost. They say that an average house type would consume 9.27 tons of pellets or $2466 ($266/ton).
Why do they publish such wrong information? My home is what I would consider to be in their "average" category with some air infiltration and inadequate infiltration. They estimate 850 gallons of HHO (I have only used 500 at most for heat and hot water) and 9.27 tons of pellets. Now I know that this winter has been very warm but still..... I haven't even hit the two ton mark yet.
