Stop cutting down old growth forest to produce wood pellets for electricity production! This does not constitute a green solution but instead robs us of precious carbon sink forest and produces more carbon pollution than even coal burning.
Do not stream line permitting or reduce regulations for sectors using forest biomass. This will only encourage the destruction of our carbon sink forest and add even more carbon pollution to our atmosphere.
It takes centuries for deforested areas to recover their carbon storage capabilities. We don't have centuries to deal with our climate crisis! Wood pellets are not a carbon crisis solution!!
