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 is JUST PLAIN STUPID !!! The Ontario government must stop the expansion of this false climate solution in its tracks NOW !!!
Ontario::: Woodpellets are not climate friendly, by burning trees, they are spewing out more carbon than coal does. Burning trees for heat does not make any sense, trees are there to absorb carbon and emit Oxygen. Stop chopping down trees for wood pellets to be exported elsewhere and at home.

Hear, hear! This is a dumb idea and a waste of wood. Wood waste would be best used as mulch, even in the forest, not made into pellets for all of the reason mentioned. And, having owned two pellet stoves, I can tell you they are not a great way to heat a home anyway.

Replacing fossil fuels with another dirty-burning fuel is NOT an answer to the climate crisis. Deforestation to meet growing demand for wood pellets is NOT an answer to the climate crisis.

I am opposed to this proposal for expansion and reduced regulation of Ontario’s forest biomass industry.
One of the main products of that industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, are in fact dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

It appears from the policies your government implements and proposes that you have no interest in the afterlife of your political persuasion, or the possibility of future generations.

Please stop biomass burning and be honest that burning primary forests for fuel is very unsustainable and a disaster to ourselves and our future economy and ecological stability.
Burning waste biomass is questionable and does not help with climate changes.

WOOD PELLETS FOR HEATING AT THIS TIME IN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT TO REDUCE OUR C02 EMISSIONS!!! AND SAVE OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN FROM CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE CHANGE. NO. ABSOLUTELY NO DO NOT CHOP DOWN ONTARIO’S BOREAL FORESTS FOR HEATING PELLETS!!!
Wood waste from forests and industry should be made into Biochar to sequester carbon and build humus for centuries and definitely not into wood pellets for Canadian or off shore electricity demands. Live trees from the boreal forest should not be used for either.
Stop destroying trees for electricity, and burning wood pellets which worsen greenhouse gases. This is not climate solution, this is contributing to climate and ecological destruction.
The forestry industry is marketing wood pellets (biomass) as a climate solution to replace fossil fuels, but burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

Please stop destroying nature for a quick profit. Stop expanding the wood pellet industry
Ontario is home to North America’s largest forest biomass-only electricity generating station. Burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

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 NOW WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME.
