waste wood biomass is a scam ... there’s almost no ACTUAL wood waste ... anything that can’t be made into lumber is already pulped for paper or ground up for particle and OSB ...

what REALLY happens is that entire forests are clear cut, and even if ALL the forests in the world were clear cut, there STILL wouldn’t be enough to replace fossil fuels ... and worse, clear cutting the world’s forest is a massive destruction of the biosphere and often results in permanent desertification ....

Agreed, about the only wood waste is in end user sawdust or when I don’t measure properly.

Our ancestors used all “green” energy.
Human or animal muscles, wind, water, biomass.
They run out of these energy sources around 1700-1800. so they started using more and more fossil fuels.
How can we switch back to these now?!
