Think how much energy we could produce by burning these idiotic dissertations from climate change scientists. These are the people Hillary and Obama were using as an excuse to hamstring our economy?

There is no way we can sustain our civilization on SOLAR and WIND power alone!
-and that is what they want-to bring us back to the stone age.

Just wondering...before the avent of coal, oil, and other forms of heat, what did mankind use to keep warm for the previous multi-millennia?

You see, I have a saying that I passed down to my children:

All generations THINK they are smarter than the previous ones.

It occurs to me that what liberals hate most is one of the most fundamental of technologies that mankind has mastered - fire. They hate burning ANYTHING, whether inside an evil automobile engine, an electric power plant, or in your own heating system. They literally hate fire.

City of Austin Texas bought into this idea.
Two billion dollars later they have a 100 MW generator that costs too much to run.

What do we want to save trees for?
The next big forest fire?
Wood is a great renewable resource.
Like all resources it has to be used wisely, not too much, not too little.
Not using it at all and have it rot or conflagrate in billion dollar calamities is not wise, it is actually quite wasteful.

Vermont will be disappointed. Their source of electricity is wood...

critical flaws that could actually damage attempts to avert dangerous levels of global warming in the future

Could use some now. Things are going to start breaking from the cold by next weekend.

Coldest winter in 20 years. Coldest late December in 100.

Make oil and gas as avalible as water and problem solved. Drill baby drill! The only reason anybody burns wood is because they’re trying to save money.

Back to burning wood. These folks still expect to be taken seriously?

Back in the 70’s you used to see a lot of bumper stickers that said ‘split wood not atoms’. I guess that has changed. Now we can’t even split wood.

There is a disconnect here in this article.

What they are actually talking about are “woodgas” generators.

In warzones, such as the Balkans, many people used wood gas to power generators. A home made wood gas setup is a timebomb.

But of course the socialists there don’t understand that the root cause of woodgas generators are socialist people making socialist wars.

If the UK wasn’t such a hard place to care for a family (Due to socialism) then they wouldn’t have to worry about wood gas.

Reminds me of a joke:

What did socialists use before candles ?

Electricity.

***Policies aimed at limiting climate change by boosting the burning of biomass ***

Forty years ago many of the “Back to Earth” magazines were saying that wood burning was the “natural” way to go, and power plants should all be burning wood.
Someone figured it takes 25 square miles of forest to feed a power plant, not to mention the cost of logging it for the fuel.

But this same cabal will allow the forests to burn wildly because that is so environmental.

Question to anyone: How much carbon does 8 million acres of wildfires throw into the atmosphere?

So they believe the carbon locked up in trees will only be released into the atmosphere if burned??? smh.
