Idiocy has no limit. How can anyone think that cutting down forests is a solution to our energy needs. OMG, if only people would stop and think for a bit.
One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

If it's waste wood, I can see how this is viable. However, to cut trees to produce pellets does not appear to be sustainable, and will only lead to higher costs in the future.
Wood pellets are not environmentally friendly. And it makes no sense to cut down our forests to use for fuel. Burning our carbon sinks to release carbon is logically a very stupid idea. We need more solar and wind projects if we are really going to help the environment.

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.

One of the largest contributors to climate change is deforestation. Look at an aerial photograph of cultivated land, where forests would slowly take up carbon dioxide and bury it into new biomass and consequently form more soil. This carbon sink is lost with cultivated land.

I am 93 yeas old and know how long it takes to grow a tree. Please reconsider use of our natural resources as we need trees to breathe and a place for wildlife

It is unacceptable to log/cut down forests for biomass. Canada cannot meet our climate targets if we continue to burn wood and use biomass, let alone expand the industry. Biomass is not a clean energy alternative.

Logging timber for burning to create electricity is unsustainable. The taking of forests and trees must stop - the damage to the environment is too costly. Logging, and reducing wood into pellets, uses too much energy and resources to produce.

Electricity should be provided using renewable resources such as solar, wind, tidal and geothermal sources, NOT burning trees or building dams (for water powered turbines) that flood communities and ecosystems.
I am appalled. Increasing deforestation as a solution to climate change is nonsense. How is it possible for Ontario’s Conservative Government to suggest that wood pellets can be marketed as a clean energy solution.

No. Earth has given us and is giving us all we need, but its resources are finite. Earth cannot afford to have the decreasing biomass, carbon sink, health giving trees taken down to burn and emit more pollution.

I’m concerned with biomass energy running out of deadfall and scrap wood to make pellets and having to switch to cutting down healthy living trees in order to keep electricity flowing. Burning wood also releases carbon dioxide into the air which we are trying to avoid.
