Coal is really bad for putting CO2 in the air and atmosphere. Yes. BUT wood pellets are DIRTIER than coal when they burn like at the smokestack.
I know you want to sell wood pellets probably overseas, because some countries think they they are being green even when they burn wood pellets. Sooner rather than later that myth will be exposed and the backlash will mean no more selling wood pellets to them.
So why not stop now. Or at least don't increase!
We are in a CLIMATE EMERGENCY. Right now as you read this, think what you will say to your grandkids when their world is practically unlivable! I didn't know? I didn't care? I thought it would all work out ? I figured I could cheat and someone else would pay the price.? EVERY CHILD WILL PAY. EVERY CHILD WILL SUFFER.
Can you replant? Yes, if you have many decades or centuries. New trees don't pull down, from the air, a fraction of CO2 that old growth trees do. So those trees you cut can't pull down CO2 any more. BUT ALSO those old growth trees are going to emit a huge amount of CO2 that they had stored in their leaves, roots and beneath the soil. That's two ways CO2 enters the atmosphere from one cutting.
JOBS ? Are you going to tell me that the biggest and brightest of our companies can't figure out a better way to create jobs. I don't believe it. I have much more faith in you.
