From what I have learned,…

From what I have learned, wood pellets are dirtier than burning coal. Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not a good or sustainable idea. Expanding the forest-biomass industry, particularly the wood pellet sector, to provide low-carbon jobs in replacement of fossil fuel jobs is a bad idea. Why would we increase cutting down trees as a climate solution? this makes little to no sense.

With an ever growing climate crisis, we simply can’t afford to keep chopping down forests to make a fuel that emits tons of carbon dioxide. It takes hundreds of years for forests to regrow and have the capacity to store carbon after being cut down.

Please stop expanding the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack.
