Biomass and forest should…

Biomass and forest should not be in the same sentence. It is important not to expand the biomass industry as there is already insufficient waste pulp fibre to keep the industry going. Removing living trees from a forest is not an acceptable form of fuel. We need to be moving away from biomass, gas, etc as they all release carbon to the atmosphere. There are so many new green technology jobs that could be developed by further harnessing renewables such as wind and solar, and moving into wind turbines in our Great Lakes, encouraging more geothermal etc. There is no reason why every new house being built could not have geothermal installed as its heating and cooling system.
