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. We have to stop this harmful industry in its tracks.
Please stop the expansion of the wood pellet industry. Cutting down tress as a climate friendly energy solution is a false solution. Burning wood pellets is as dirty and worse than burning coal. How can this be a solution?

Why is the government still cutting down our Forrest’s . Isn’t it enough they have screwed up almost everything they touch. Now they want to strip away all the oxygen producing Forrest’s. I always knew a politician sucked the air out of a room as soon as they enter.

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

Hello, I've been made aware through stands.earth that you are thinking about expanding the deforestation to profit the pellet industry.
While pellet is a good thing, to valorise and make use of the wood-industry waste, it become anti-ecological if it comes from fresh trees

Because wood is a less energy-dense fuel, biomass-burning plants emit more CO2 from their smokestacks than coal to generate the same amount of electricity.

Stop this, this isn’t a true climate change solution this is a green washed idea. Please just implement truly renewable solutions like wind/solar or even nuclear.
Burning wood for electricity or other power is is not a solution to CLIMATE CHANGE.
PLEASE STOP THIS INSANE IDEA!!! LEAVE THE FORESTS ALONE. THEY GIVE US AIR TO BREATHE.
We are in the midst of a climate emergency and this proposal is a serious mistake. It is like trying to put out a fire by throwing gasoline on it.
Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but the fact is that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

I am extremely concerned about the possible expansion of Ontario's biomass industry. Wood pellets have been found to dirtier than coal at the smokestack, and any plan that promotes increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable!

Using white wood pellets is the exact opposite of climate solution since trees help get rid of carbon dioxide. They shouldn’t be used for this at all, trees should be left standing. This is an incredibly bad idea.

I do not support burning wood pellets for electricity. This is a retrograde idea that will only lead to more destruction of our environment and forests, and bring more CO2 into our atmosphere, which we all know we do not need.
