One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but they are dirtier than coal.
Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable. While you claim that only waste wood is used to manufacture wood pellets, more whole trees from primary, boreal forests are being logged to meet the demands of this growing industry.
You claim that expanding the wood pellet industry will provide alternative employment for fossil fuel workers, but these would be jobs in an industry that dumps more carbon into the atmosphere than what it's replacing.

We cannot afford false climate solutions that are marching us into planetary catastrophe. Please stop expanding the wood pellet industry under the guise of a climate solution.
