Burning trees is the green thing to do

Europeans increasingly burning trees for energy after green policies, Russian war, leave countries hobbled

European nations' consumption of biomass energy such as wood is increasing amid an energy crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the bloc's push for green energy.

I thought we were supposed to plant trees to soak up all of the evil CO2. Now “bio-energy” is the new green? Someone should tell them fools in CA that backyard fire pits are back in fashion.

I figgur burning trash in my back yard fire pit is the most expedient way for the material to get back to Mother Gaia via heat/smoke

They would have a lot more heat for a lot longer, if they burned tires instead. And on top of that, they'd be helping clean-up the countryside.

I'm sure the United States burns more trees than Europe in a single fire season.

Wild fire doesn’t produce pollutants, so it cool. This is man made fire…

Actually, a tree releases the same amount of CO2 whether you burn it or it rots.

They do, when they're on a roadside speed camera

Green renewable resource.

Well green and brown.

It would make good common sense to maintain good, healthy forest.

I just got the email that my order of 2 tons of soft wood pellets for my pellet stove are ready for pickup. I'm ready for winter now.

erm not the salient point. Burning releases particulate matter whereas rotting does not. Hence why ash is bad, m'kay.

Ash is fine, just don't huff it.

No, ash is now good. It’s the product of clean burning, renewable, bio-energy. It even acts as fertilizer for the next wave of generation. “Ash is bad” is old-think.

I put the ash in my tomato beds, the potassium is good for 'maters.

Out of curiosity why do they use soft wood instead of hard wood? Seems like a longer lasting heat would be better, but wood stoves and furnaces aren’t needed here.

hell I lived several years with no heater at all even in 12-20 degrees several times, throw another couple blankets on.

But… remember all those protesters in the mid 80’s demanding an end to paper grocery bags and McDonald’s packaging? Protesting outside McDonald’s because… trees!!! They are killing trees!!!

We needed plastic grocery bags and styrofoam McDonald’s packaging. Because trees.

Here is the deal… the bitchy left will never shut up. They are hard wired with mental illness to be overly empathetic, attention seeking mentally ill freaks. Let them get their way on something and they move on to the next thing to destroy. It’s not about science or the planet or common sense. It is a tantrum like a kid wanting cereal at Safeway.

Let Europe burn what little wood they have left. Excellent! That means no more Danish Modern Junk from IKEA. Though I will miss French Walnut gunstocks…

Fuck them all!

These people are so clueless. You know that it is not uncommon to have CO2 generators in commercial green houses.....and horror of all horror they run on propane.

Guess they don't know that plants like CO2. More of it makes happy plants. Now CO, that is a different beast all together.

 

[fpgt72]

Wanted to add:

There was a study we all likely know the surface of. Talking to your plants make them grow better. Know the why behind it. It is your breath, and no not the taco bell breath, the CO2. You are basically blowing it right on the plant when you are talking to it. That CO2 makes the plant happy and healthy.

And thats why you want the log {organic matter} slowly decomposing under your plants.

I have been telling people this too. Back then most all of our packaging was compostable. I.E Of all of it that got thrown in the bart pit, tuned into plant food and put back into the cycle.

Yes, and that involves cutting trees and starting fires. Grassland sequesters more carbon though. I.E grows more bio-mass.

Softwood pellets have a higher btu content surprisingly. I burned hardwood all last year, went through just shy of 2 tons, but I didn't technically start using the stove until new years eve because it didn't get very cold until then.

I'm waiting for a cold night soon to fire up the stove and make sure everything still works on it. I'm probly gonna pickup a new blower motor for a backup unit, the exhaust blower is new last season, fucker seized up tight one evening. Was making some horrible noises, and while I was trying to sort it out, it just stopped....suddenly. Thank goodness I had already started the shutdown process, and the fire was already out completely.

nobody burns more trees than California.
