The wood pellet industry is a dirty big secret. The smoke by product contributes to pollution and in fact contributes to our climate disaster.We need trees to sequester carbon Stop cutting down our boreal forests
When is the Ontario government going to stop trying to bamboozle the public with dishonest claims that they are concerned about protecting the environment while constantly condoning and encouraging extraction and construction companies to further destroy our forests, our agricultural lands, our wetl

This wasn’t a good idea at it’s inception. At worst, using only the brush and “waste” of regular lumber industry leavings should be required for burning and toilet paper. Other than that, reforested areas can be recycled every forty years or so.

It’s time to explore and use geothermal energy. Where Earth’s crust is thinnest, drill to major heat source and pump a heat retaining liquid through it to produced electricity (sodium?). It really isn’t all that complicated.
I live near what is left of Ontario's old-growth boreal forest. I've viewed the destructive forestry industry's clear-cuts, lack of tree replanting, the vast garbage dumped and left by cutters for close to 70 years.

The argument to expand the forest-biomass industry, particularly the wood pellet sector, to provide low-carbon jobs in replacement of fossil fuel jobs IS NOT valid.
