Please join us in 2021 and transition to a clean power source. Burning wood for electricity is not efficient and there are much better methods available. Deforestation is a real issue with burning wood pellets for power and increases the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. Read more

Stop greenwashing the forest-biomass industry. Burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smoke-stack, it creates an immense carbon dioxide footprint. We need to conserve our forests which sequester carbon, and support wildlife not squander them in a false "green" industry. Read more

I am concerned about "improving the regulatory environment" for the wood chip industry. I question if this is truly something that is truly currently underutilized. It is important that any wood chips created to be burned are truly a byproduct of existing activity.

Trees are our natural ally in the fight against climate change. Everyone with a secondary school diploma knows that trees remove carbon dioxide from the air, sequestering carbon in their trunk and returning oxygen to the atmosphere. And they preform this vital and invaluable service for free!! Read more

What an idiotic idea this is! Let us take all the carbon sequestered over numerous years in trees and release it back to the current environment. It takes a real idiot to think about this as any type of "green" solution. Instead let me suggest the following: Read more

Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is NOT viable. While the government and industry claim that only waste wood is used to manufacture wood pellets, more whole trees from primary, boreal forests are being logged to meet the demands of this growing industry.

This is insanity! To cut down trees and then to burn them! It diminishes the source of oxygen by cutting the trees which are the lungs of the planet, then adds insult to injury by burning the product the trees are transformed into, adding more pollutants to the atmosphere! Stop!
