Ravaging Canadian forests for electricity production? Using wood pellets that is made from so called "waste wood" is still damaging the forests in the process of extraction. Human activity inside forests where industrial vehicles are brought in causes massive disturbance of the surrounding environment.
These methods of energy production are not renewable; causing deforestation and pollution.
There are other effective and environmentally efficient methods of power generation; such as photovoltaic cells, hydro power methods, and biomass (providing that the source of organic material that is burned/converted to biofuel is quickly renewable). Wood pellets take a few hours to incinerate, and then they're gone; you have to wait a minimum of 20 years to let the tree grow back. This source is not renewable enough to support our population.
Alternative employment for fossil fuel workers cannot be against the values of the climate change solutions. Power cycles need a new, environmentally friendly and effective way to ignite the working fluid responsible for delivering energy.
