The Last Word in Biomass: “That’s right, burn a tree to save the planet.”

From Alternet.org: “Fire up your chainsaw and cut down a tree. Not so you can decorate it for the Christmas holiday; so you can set it on fire to help combat global warming. That’s right, burn a tree to save the planet. That’s the notion behind biomass, the new (yet ancient) technology of burning wood to produce energy. It might seem crazy that anyone would even consider the incineration of wood and its byproducts to be a green substitute for toxic fuels such as coal. Yet that’s exactly what is happening all over the country, and it has many environmentalists scratching their heads in disbelief.”
