Most intelligent people realise that forests provide one of the few ways of helping maintain air quality. Therefore it is totally counter-productive to chop them down to burn them, thereby releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Also many animals are becoming endangered because their habitat has been encroached upon by human activity, as there are fewer and fewer laws intended to protect them. All together the attitude of the government is that they want to make as much money as possible, as quickly as possible, for the small percentage of the population that have their fingers in the public pot. To continue to chop down trees in order to burn them as pellets is not in any way a good solution. Trees are counted as renewable, which they are but only in the very long term. Forward looking governments are using solar, and wind, and water as true clean renewable producers of the energy needed.
