Ahh, but it isn't a way to kill wood as a source of energy. Just turn it to charcoal and use it as a soil amendment. It is in fact an effective "nutrient sponge" that could reduce fertilizer requirements significantly.
It's high time we found a way to finance restructuring our disastrously overstocked National Forests anyway.
Slow down and think about this a bit. If we burned the carbon neutral forests the right wing militias would have nowhere to secretly train.
Jeesh - at a minimu we need to save the tree bark for food when the enviros finally get those evil genetically modified grains banned and we finally have the opportunity to reduce crop yields by 50%.
What were you thinking?
