Biomass can be a useful byproduct of Forestry, but this Draft Action Plan describes a misguided policy, and it should be abandoned. Any burning of biomass for heat or energy (CHP) adds to our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and should be prohibited.

The burning of biomass causes significant harm to public health and the global environment. New jobs and increased GDP do not justify the known harms. Do not pursue this Plan.
