I oppose the Government's plan to burn wood pellets and biomass in order to produce electricity. Biomass is not a sustainable form of energy. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

This is not a clean or green solution. It would require the destruction of more forests and create pollution equal to or greater than that of coal at the smokestack. You listened the science for COVID. I implore you to do the same for our climate crisis.

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!

Let's not go back to before the 20th century, aye?? Solar- and wind-generated energy will NOT decrease biodiversity or increase atmospheric CO2, whereas removing and burning any of the boreal will!
Wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.
Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not reasonable.
Alternative employment for fossil fuel workers should not create more problems.
What about filling up the closed mines?
Really short sighted plan to pay farmers money for trees that you then sell back to them to heat their homes. Soon the bigger problems of desertification and water scarcity will be upon us. Hand wringing will do nothing.

Thanks for looking into clean energy to help with the emergency of climate change but nuclear energy and cutting down trees for biomass are not the solution.

At a time when the worlds forests are being touted as the lungs of the earth and a way to reduce our man made effects on the climate why would we consider expansion of this industry. It should be reduced and minimized!

Clean energy is what this province, indeed all Canada, needs as does our entire world! Hydro energy, as well as electricity produced through atomic energy, are clean energy.

We should be avoiding ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that reduces Canada's forest cover. Whether its for urbanization, logging, pulpwood or paper production. We are already losing too many trees to insect infestation and disease.

Stop the expansion of the wood pellet industry. It is just green washing. Using wood to burn is dirtier than coal when you burn it. Expanding the wood pellet industry adds to the problem rather than working towards solving it.

Please do not choose to pursue the Biomass Action Plan. Burning trees is actually dirtier than coal, producing more carbon than what it's replacing. We know that more than 15,000 Canadians died from air pollution in 2016.

Stop expanding the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack! It's so hard to believe that this is even being considered while we face a climate crisis. It's not hard to see the faults of the forest biomass industry:
