Re: Biomass and forest waste expansion and regulatory slack in Ontario. It's a scam. Quebec has a multi tens of millions loading facility on the St Lawrence sending ships of chips to the UK to be burned in old coal plants. It's transparent and controversial over there too. I hear they're clear-cutting NB as well. You can bet there's little oversight out in the bush. So much more material in a standing tree. The jobs argument is bogus too. Largely automated with heavy, scaring, diesel equipment. The cost structure completely rules out folks with gloves picking up branches. Roads and runoff disruption everywhere. The lies are brazen and backed by hundreds of millions in eager capital. It's rape on a scale we've never seen before.
