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.

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.

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 "

How marginalized communities in the South are paying the price for ‘green energy’ in Europe"​

 
Well, the insight is politicians no matter their country are thick as shit. I live 4 miles from Ferrybridge power station in the UK. We got rid of all the coal (mined from 5 miles away) , built a new 'biomass' burner and now import wood pellets from Canada. Drax power station about 30 miles away has procured wood pellet mills in southern US. Well turns out they have just realised this is complete and utter fuck up. When it now costs 300%+ to ship those pellets from the states to the UK, the coal that could be burnt at a fraction of the price + a few filters to reduce emissons aren’t looking too bad. Don't worry whatever issues you feel over there are just the same as all the coal mining towns in the UK that have gone to shit due to the mantra of European governments : go woke - go broke

For me it's not about that.

It's the fact that these practices, are typically 'predatory business' models that are knowingly contaminating places

And usually those places, have low to no power in the world.

1st world countries are supposed to be 1st world b/c they protect their citizens and have progressive infrastructure that protects its citizens.

But as the world has gotten the internet, it is exposing that lot of things are the same everywhere
 
Politicians everywhere no matter what they appear infront of you are utter shit heads and evil people, their gender, religion, affiliation towards a certain group of people no matter which group is bogus and just a smokes screen for how dumb they really are. That's why successful billionaires doesn't give a crap about being a politician when they can actually use them. they give few hundred thousand and make millions back.
 
The U.S. doesn't have a law banning or restricting non citizens or non u.s. based entities from owning land in America. It's literally up to the state and county and maybe town/city to approve what the companies are doing.
 
IT's just about making money or politicians doing whatever they want often someone will always try and get their rubbish or problems fixed by someone else often.
