Here's an interesting report I found.
Apparently there's a lot of forest destroying going down in the USA now because companies with foreign interests have gotten the green light to set up shop and mine trees.
then this........
Is America really just finally coming to the ugly face of being the UK's 'vacation baby' after never breaking free from to the 'green backs' Abe Lincoln tried to set us free with?
Anyone else have more insights on this?
I dont link to sites for fear of the site having a violation of the forum rules.... but this is on CNN.... to find the full story (a great read), just search "
Apparently there's a lot of forest destroying going down in the USA now because companies with foreign interests have gotten the green light to set up shop and mine trees.
In 2009, the European Union (EU) pledged to curb greenhouse gas emissions, urging its member states to shift from fossil fuels to renewables. In its Renewable Energy Directive (RED), the EU classified biomass as a renewable energy source — on par with wind and solar power. As a result, the directive prompted state governments to incentivize energy providers to burn biomass instead of coal — and drove up demand for wood.
So much so that the American South emerged as Europe’s primary source of biomass imports
then this........
Burning wood is less efficient than burning coal and releases far more carbon into the atmosphere, according to almost 800 scientists who wrote a 2018 letter to the European parliament, pushing members to amend the current directive “to avoid expansive harm to the world’s forests and the acceleration of climate change.” President Joe Biden and other world leaders received a similar letter from hundreds of climate scientists earlier this year.
