Burning biomass for energy is not a climate friendly solution. It’s merely replacing one form or dirty energy with another. Please consider investing in alternative energy sources such as wind and solar farms, which give us all a longterm sustainable future.

Sustainability is important to the well-being of our province, people and the planet. Nature is precious and we need to preserve as much as we can— re-using byproducts is one way to do this.

Stop encouraging the production of the unsustainable wood pellet industry. There are so many other sustainable solutions - invest in HEMP pellets!!!

Large multi-national corporations, like Siemens and Schneider Electric, et al, have publicly stated greenhouse gas reduction goals, some in fact want to be carbon neutral but very few have included biomass in their strategies.

Stop expanding the wood pellet industry.
One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

A decision to burn more wood pellets means burning more trees for electricity – producing a fuel that’s even dirtier at the smokestack than coal not to mention the great loss of trees ..our very existence depends on trees for oxygen ....What calibre of decision makers are we stuck with ....very lazy

Hello. Cutting down the boreal forest for energy just simply isn’t sustainable. I’d like to see the government and science work together here to create a better system here. Yes waste wood perhaps for, but that would be secondary wood.

I urge the Ontario government to stop this harmful industry in its tracks.
There is NO second planet Earth within a few light years away from the planet Earth we live on today. So it would be a brilliant idea not to cut down forests for the sake of whatever it is you are doing, like in this case, making wood chips.
If and only if wood pellets used for energy are truly made from waste byproducts of the lumber industry, then using biomass is a good solution.

Burning forests to produce electricity is an asinine abomination.
Those who even suggest implementing such projects ought to be subjected to professional censure and discipline.
What happens in Ontario affects all of us in Canada and the US and, at points around the globe. Trees are a lifeblood for not only humans but also wildlife. I urge you to stop the use of and the sale of wood pellets for burning.
