The Ontario government has to stop playing around and get serious about climate change and how to tackle it! The expansion of the wood pellet industry is NOT the way to go and I think they are well aware of that!! It is not a green solution. We all know that wood pellets are DIRTIER than coal and involves
Increasing deforestation, which is the last thing one should do if one is serious about addressing climate change. We need MORE forests not less and the old growth forests cannot be replaced--their function in the environment has evolved over thousands of years. Cut them down and they're gone for ever as is their environmental impact. New plantings can never do the same. So in short: do not expand the wood pellet industry.
