They’re already doing it in Germany. There are towns hiring loggers to clear cut areas for fuel without so much as a by-your-leave from the state.

They actually go in to an area that been cut ..for pulp or lumber…and clean up all the waste…making it ready for reseeding…

Most forest land in the south East is privately held..

Softwood such as pine makes poor fuel. Hardwoods like oak and hickory are better fuel but neither is as good as coal or natural gas.

I wasn’t saying it was not feasible, only that it had to be done to keep the forest levels constant. Most of upstate NY was deforested by the beginning of the 20th century but it has recovered. But that was 100 years or more. I personally think this carbon dioxide is going to ruin the planet is absolute massive bullsh!t. It’s all lies and a form of environmental confidence scheme kind of like the Spanish prisoner. We need your money to save the planet. It’s not enough we need more. Still not enough you have to give up your freedom of movement. Nope we’re all still going to die - give up your individual house and move into an apartment block (Soviet style). You can’t eat meat it’s killing the planet - you’ll have to eat crickets and roaches. Etc. One things for sure they will never be satisfied no matter how much of your money and your freedom are taken they will always want more; you can’t reason with them and you can’t bargain with them

Greta is campaigning to make wood-burning illegal in EU.

It’s currently rated “carbon neutral” by Eurocrats.

For the past 30 years, if you wanted a research grant, you toed the global warming / climate change party line

I'm sure that's true. settled science my a$$. Climate change typically takes place over tens of thousands of years. I think at one point the earth was in an ice age for 100 million years in the precambrian. so even IF and that's a rather large if considering the data fudging that goes into this crap there have been a few warmer years recently, this is completely meaningless. It's statistically insignificant noise on the climate change scale. There isn't anything that government can't and won't corrupt to extend it's power.

Right. That’s why I mentioned my Dad’s research into faster growing hardwoods (although that wasn’t for fuel!)
