I am deeply concerned with the wood pellet industry rising from harvesting round wood to produce electricity. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative.

Most intelligent people realise that forests provide one of the few ways of helping maintain air quality. Therefore it is totally counter-productive to chop them down to burn them, thereby releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Climate change or none, the decision to take old growth at this point, with this percentage now already gone worldwide, is not only blind, ignorant, selfish, and immoral, it is outright lacking in any level of soul altogether.
Trees are one of the most important carbon sinks we have and crucial in the fight against climate change. We have other renewable options so let’s leave the trees standing.
Burning Forest Biomass should NOT be allowed in Ontario or anywhere in Canada. It creates worse emissions than coal at the smokestack and it leads to whole trees being burned in spite of promises it will only be waste wood. This leads to biodiversity loss.

In theory, wood pellets seem a good idea, if limited to waste wood only. But in reality, to make a factory cost-effective and profitable, it would require an ever expanding supply of wood, requiring trees grown specifically for that purpose.

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.

Cutting down forests to create tiny wood pellets is extremely short-sighted. This is taking a technology that was supposed to help reduce waste in the already problematic forest industry and making it worse than coal, gas, and natural gas. Please stop harming our planet.

Stop expanding the wood pellet industry! This is an exercise in green washing and it’s going to be detrimental to our climate in a moment when we should be doing everything we can to stop climate change.

I believe that using wood pellets as a "clean alternative " to fossil fuels is complete huey. It is widely known burning wood is less efficient in comparison to even coal for the amount of energy it produces vs the carbon it produces. We are working backwards.

It is important to distinguish between forest biomass that is a by-product of harvesting wood for lumber or pulp and harvesting virgin forest elements with the primary purpose to create forest bio-mass.

Burning wood for fuel should be ancient history. We have so many better options here in Canada! Protect the ecosystem and tourism and create jobs through the green economy instead of outdated modes of energy!
It’s curious that you would look to expand the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. How would it be to invest in proven clean renewable energy such as solar and wind that come with jobs that will continue for a long time.
