Hello, I'm a 30 year old from BC.
I think there is enough evidence given over the years that proves that burning wood pellets is unsustainable. It is a step in the wrong direction unless you are harvesting the CO2 that you are creating and replanting trees taken at higher rates. Also leave the hardwood trees alone. There should be dedicated forests for producing softwood trees to use for making pellets. There is so much going wrong with this method of producing electricity. Why not put available resources & funding into other already established green energy methods? Solar, wind, and water turbines to name a few. Why are we cutting down trees and taking away animals homes in order to make wood pellets to burn for energy?? Also, considering the rising price of wood products right now this really does not seem like an economical move. Leave the trees alone and invest in more solar and how we can improve photo-voltaics. Anything but burning our resources and fracking our lands. Think of the future generations and what we are leaving behind for them. Think of your own children, if you have any. This is a bad idea and should not be considered for any future projects. Thank you for listening to my rant. I've provided many links to provide some further insight into my stance on this issue. Take care.
