This is greenwashing at its finest. Burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. The Ontario government is intentionally deceiving the public to generate higher demand to expand this dirty industry, which is incorrectly being sold as a "circular economy" system.

Expanding the wood pellet industry will result in further deforestation in the province. This will not help climate change, and promoting wood pellet burning, while useful for some individuals, will INCREASE our GHG emissions. This is a huge mistake.
The Ontario government's “Draft Forest Biomass Action Plan” is wrong, wrong, wrong. Chopping down boreal forests to produce electricity is NOT a solution to global heating.

Wood pellet furnaces and the cutting of trees to produce energy is not only errant thinking but contributes to deforestation and pollution. It is wrong on so many levels and any government that participate or condone this practice will not get my vote
Biomass from cutting trees is not a green industry per se and even if it is burning with leftover wood it is still quite ‘dirty’ to burn. Please keep the supervision and rules that exist and do not weaken them or else you will be contributing to a greater carbon footprint instead of a smaller one.

This is bad. We need our trees as it is!! It's just the wrong way to go about gaining energy on a large scale Destroying our trees is the wrong route to go. Think again. Make another plan.
It makes sense to utilize mill by-products for energy production. CO2 will be released either way, through decomposition or combustion, so capturing its energy won't increase CO2 output.

Stop cutting down old growth forest to produce wood pellets for electricity production! This does not constitute a green solution but instead robs us of precious carbon sink forest and produces more carbon pollution than even coal burning.

Stop ignoring science, which the current administration likes to do it seems. Trees help the environment and reduce greenhouse gases. Burning trees is a double whammy in the wrong direction.
AACT: a system with a closed loop is being used in Montana, USA, to create energy which is the best solution that I have seen. The inventor is Michael Smith. You can see his"Super Smart integrated Biosystems",
