"Sustainable" biomass is suicidal on multiple levels.
Burning wood is worse than burning coal.
"The price of not performing such a stress test — or crash test — for global climate modeling could be very high: for if natural forests are key to climate stability due to their role in moisture transport, using them for biomass to lower CO2 emissions will only aggravate the climate situation."
@gerrymcgovern just over ten years ago I was celebrating the opening of a biomass power station nearby as part of the solution to green power generation. How far we've come in such a short time... It's still burning away but now surrounded by solar arrays. I think it's important to note the rapidity of technical change and understanding over the last few years
