Perspective is not something that many enjoy. I find it very interesting that there are thousands of online hacks railing against Biomass because it will deforest the world. They have no rational understanding of markets and how they function. Increasing the value of trees in the end will actually presserve trees and promote re-forestation. Recycling is the way forward in terms of clean, renewable energy. Recycled wood waste, recycled landfill and urban waste, etc. Waste to Power projects are one of the best most prudent ways to diversify our power grid and reduce landfill waste, create local jobs and reduce emissions. Why so-called environmentalists oppose these types of projects is mind-boggling. Excellent piece. Perspective is not something that many enjoy.
