They should remember what happened to Marie when she treated the plebes like that.

Well I guess if anything positive can be said about this ruling is that it disrupts The globalist view and the associated profit chain unhindered by those inconvenient borders.

Why would you ban a byproduct of saw milling from North America?

All the saw mills in North America are very regulated on the timber that they process. There is no old growth timber cut anywhere in NA. Pellets are made from SAWDUST from smaller sawmills that do not burn their own waste. Most of the larger corporate sawmills burn their sawdust to power their kilns and/or create electricity.

The smaller sawmills sell their sawdust to companies that either bag it for animal bedding or to companies that make wood pellets. Some pellets are bagged and sold in North America to people like me that burn pellets in their home some heat. Other companies ship the pellets to Europe where they are burned to either make electricity or heat.

They left paper off the list. When they start banning toilet paper folks will start paying attention. That is unless the Muslims have completely taken over the EU.

I guess deforestation to provide wood pellets for power plants or to keep Germans warm is still ok.

I see a full blown European War coming, soon enough.

And now they will build houses, not with lumber, but with plastic ... oh wait, that requires using petroleum ... how about reprocessing feces bullshit into building material ... there is plenty of that around.

Thanks for the morning dose of eco-fascist propaganda. To celebrate, everyone should drink a cup of coffee with beans grown by criminal small farmers in Brazil.

For those who are able to travel about the USA, it is readily apparent that there are vast woodlands present. That fact is especially true in the south where lands once devoted to crops, including pine trees, are now wild woodlands.

What is an indication of ignorance is the concept of crops and woodlands. The crops are in fact grasses and grow today in vast tracts of former prairie and tall grasslands.

The real problem though is cities. Those that whine are city dwellers with no knowledge beyond their paved and high rising cities. They have developed and dogmatized an enviromental concept with no basis at all in reality

The only new sawmills in North America for the most part are being built in AL, LA, MS & AR. There is a huge amount of Southern Yellow Pine timber available in this part of the country. It is the most readily available timber in the world from a growth and price standpoint. Southern Yellow Pine grows faster to a commercially harvestable size quicker than any other species of tree. Therefore, all the major timber/lumber corporations have or are building sawmills in this area.

In converse to that, these same corporations are reducing production and closing sawmills in Western Canada.

Europeans will be doing their own deforestation this winter by cutting wood to keep warm.
