I am appalled. Increasing deforestation as a solution to climate change is nonsense. How is it possible for Ontario’s Conservative Government to suggest that wood pellets can be marketed as a clean energy solution.
You are claiming that expanding the wood pellet industry will provide alternative employment for fossil fuel workers, but these would be jobs in an industry that dumps more carbon into the atmosphere than what it's replacing.
This is not a solution.
Less expensive Hydro is a solution - to encourage those burning wood pellets as a lower cost alternative to reduce their use.
Please focus on a solution that will actually reduce our carbon footprint, Deforestation and burning is not a solution.
