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.

How can you do this? Your proposal is draconian as it promotes a dirty fuel, it promotes massive deforestation, and it consumed whole logs not just waste wood from milling operations.
I’m 100% against this proposal.
Using wood pellets for electrical generation is a stupidly destructive step backwards. Deny that and promote true renewable alternatives like wind and solar now.
We have always needed trees. We need them more than ever now. Logging trees and them using them in a way that is harmful for the atmosphere is more than a double hit because these activities result in exponential damage.

It is insane that in a time of global climate crisis our governments are allowing practices that are known to contribute to global warming. I will not vote for anyone who perpetuates actions that further degrade our climate stability.
We need environmentally sustainable, clean alternatives to oil and gas. This is not the answer. Trees are the Earth‘s lungs, and we need them now more than ever. Stop expanding the wood pellet industry for Pete sake!!!!
I see the proposal as a bandaid effect which will only lead to more devastating effects on our planet 🌎. I do not think that only dead wood will be selected, that’s impossible and economically non viable. I foresee RAPING of the land of our precious Boreal forests here in Northern America/ Canada.

I am writing to oppose Ontario’s proposal to expand the wood pellet/forest biomass industry. While wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, the truth is that they are dirtier than coal. Worse still, it is not just waste wood that is used to make pellets.

Please stop burning wood pellets to produce electricity! The smoke produced is dirtier than that produced by burning coal! Trees need to be left to clean the air and provide habitat.

Perhaps they should try something different for once and start processing hemp instead. Leave the freakin trees alone especially the old growth, boreal and any other forest.
