It's true wildfires produce far more smoke than wood burning stoves, but it's mostly just for a few weeks/months a year, and mostly in relatively unpopulated areas. There are exceptions, of course; some years (like last year) it gets pretty bad.
The thing is, the "green" folks seem to want to slam every energy source; oil and propane produce carbon emissions, newly designated as a 'pollutant' by the ninjas at the EPA. Electricity is just as bad, the vast bulk of it coming from burning coal, the single largest source of greenhouse gases in the world.
Wind power kills birds, raptors at a disproportionate rate.
Solar, well, that's the dream, but at this point it's expensive and inefficient and likely to remain that way for a long time, absent a massive de-centralization of production (think of most houses going 'off the grid" with solar cell shingles on their roofs).
The one source of "clean" power around, that produces virtually no pollution or emissions is our good buddy Nuclear. Yeah, right, ask the folks in Oregon where they want their nukes.
or we could just all bundle up and shiver in the cold and swelter in the heat, and move into energy efficient apartments in the middle of the city, like spam in a can.
I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
