Please stop using wood pellets to produce energy. It should hardly be necessary to point out that deforestation cannot be a solution to our climate problems. It is not a clean energy solution.
Stop expanding the wood pellet industry! Biomass energy is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Cutting down trees simply for fuel is an unacceptable and an unsustainable source of energy.
DONT EXPLAINED the industry. Your trading one poison for another, and it’s well established the “biomass” is not only “waist wood” but whole trees to meet the growing demand.

Stop this wood pellet industry. We need to save as many trees as possible to help with our climate change, not add more dirty pollution to the air. There are other options for a government to choose. Make a better choice! We have taken so much from this earth, it is time to give back!
Wood pellets being burned to produce electricity?? When this produces more pollution than burning coal?? NOW they are expanding the making of these wood pellets from milling waste to cutting down the Boreal Forest to produce more pellets!!??

Coal is really bad for putting CO2 in the air and atmosphere. Yes. BUT wood pellets are DIRTIER than coal when they burn like at the smokestack.

Thank you for developing this action plan. A circular economy in the far north is a great objective. I support the re-use of otherwise waste wood by-products in heating and energy systems. I am opposed to the harvesting of saw-log-worthy trees solely for biomass use.

I must admit burning wood including pellets from trees harvested for that purpose is just about the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Not only does the burning create more CO2 emissions than does burning coal, but the standing trees are aborbers of greenhouse gases.

STOP using wood pellets to produce energy. That is an extremely outdated method, and now it is shockingly irresponsible. Our forests are suffering unprecedented losses as it is, without being ground up to provide power, which water, gas, wind, and nuclear already do. Enough is enough.

Burning wood pellets to generate electricity is going in the wrong direction to support actions to deter climate change. Surely, we can do better.
