Read this article this morning in the paper about the Amish inventing a new source of heat that cuts down on your heating bill.

Everyone hates high heat bills. But we’re all sick and tired of turning down the thermostat and always being cold. There is really no need to heat every room in your house if you are only occupying one of them. This concept is called Zone Heating.
The beauty of Roll-n-Glow Fireless Flame is that it can easily roll from room to room so you can take the heat with you anywhere you go. For every degree you turn down your thermostat for 8 hours, you can save 1.5% on your energy bill. Take it down 5 degrees for 24 hours and you can save 20% for that same time period. When the Roll-n-Glow is turned down to the medium setting, 750 watts, or 2559 BTU's it can easily heat a average size bedroom for about 6 cents an hour.* On the high setting, 1500 watts, or 5119 BTU's it can handle a 325 sq. ft. room for about 12 cents an hour.*
ZONE HEATING VS. TRADITIONAL HEATING

Even people in California and Florida are flocking to get them so they may never have to turn on their furnace all winter. And since it uses less energy than a coffee maker, the potential savings are absolutely incredible.
* Variables taken into consideration. Relative size of the room. Average size room of 144sq. ft. Temperature of the zone heated room compared to the rest of the house. Insulation qualities of the house. Insulation qualities / measures taken by the occupant to isolate the heat in the zone heated room from the rest of the house. Outside weather conditions. Regional energy costs.
