Cutting down trees for energy is not sustainable, it is akin to burning the furniture to heat the house. The climate and extinction crisis is not simply about fossil fuel use, it is about all carbon emissions and sequestration, all species and habitat preservation and loss. Burning trees for energy not only releases carbon but also destroys a carbon sink AND a source of biodiversity. To pretend otherwise is willful ignorance and clear misdirection.

Wood pellet manufacture from anything but waste wood must end immediately.
