Misleading the public by claiming such falsehoods as burning wood pellets is GREEN energy and wood WASTE material is used only - really burns me up! BE HONEST! BE WISE! Do NOT burn whole forests & claim otherwise.
Energy Ontario should in no way or form harm the forests we share as common people. It’s very aberrant to burn trees to make energy and it’s huge relapse of carbon to the sky something we as people can Ill afford this.
Time to stop this practice. Very soon we will be transitioning people away from these kind of jobs permanently. Solar, Fusion and wind are taking over.
If you start transitioning people to green jobs now you will be putting Canada ahead of the game for when the crunch comes.

Burning forest for energy is sad. Pellets could be made from so many waist products,such as grain stems and chaf. Our forest need to be protected from poor management and exploitation.
Amidst an ever growing climate crisis, we simply can’t afford to keep chopping down forests to make a fuel that emits immense amounts of carbon dioxide. Moreover, it can take centuries for forests to regain the majority of their carbon storage after being logged.

Using wood for fuel is very shortsighted, wood produces are dirtier at the smoke stack than coal. Also cutting down the boreal forest for this is extremely destructive, eliminating an ecosystem, that helps to absorb our much over produced carbon dioxide.

Wood pellets are NOT 'clean electricity' - in fact, burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. The Ontario government cannot intentionally deceive the public to justify expanding a climate-destroying industry.

I find it difficult to believe that the Doug Ford Conservative government in Ontario is so misguided to even contemplate biomass electricity generation.
