As an Emeritus Professor of Respiratory Medicine I have to chime in regarding this issue! The idea of burning wood to produce electricity is flawed from many aspects.

Stop expanding the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Many Canadian provinces including Ontario are logging whole trees from primary forests to meet the growing demand for wood pellets.

Please end the destruction of standing trees for the wood pellet industry. Our environment is in dire straights and should not be further supported by Ontario. We need the end of this harmful industry for the sake of our ecosystem and the very air we breath.
Premier Ford, This business of mowing down valuable forests for energy needs to full stop. With the climate crisis we are currently in, the trees are worth more standing than being burnt. The pollution from wood smoke is one of the worst kinds.

Please listen to your heart and wisdom about the choices you are making for our children:
We simply can’t afford to keep chopping down forests to make a fuel that emits immense amounts of carbon dioxide. We would be chopping down that very vehicle that absorbs carbon dioxide!

Stop cutting down trees to burn them up as wood pellets. Deforestation and dumping more carbon into the atmosphere is NOT a climate-friendly solution to anything.
Cutting forests for electricity is ridiculous, and not a green solution at all! Besides losing our precious ans highly valuable forests, wood pellets are worse for the environment than coal. This whole idea should be thrown out!
Do not expand the wood pellet industry. Burning trees to produce electricity is not a clean solution to the climate crisis. It is a step backwards not forwards.
There are so many other options that are far better for ourselves and our environment like wind power, solar power and wave power. Please, please don't destroy the forests for electricity! We are having a Global Climate Crisis!
