Depend where you live, but in many places yes.
It is sometimes costly, - where I live heating up with electrics is about the same, but less investment when building. (The source is far away so there is cooling and pumping costs etc)
But the wind is steady and ample.
With more and more trees being grown, quite many partially heat with wood, - and it's cosy ;)
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
