This Is Incredible: The Green Movement is Burning Forests for Electricity and Fuel -- Absolutely Nothing To Do With The Bakken

From Canada, this is incredible, burning trees for fuel and electricity, incredible in the 21st century:

The federal and provincial governments must clamp down on large-scale burning of forest wood for energy and biofuels to prevent an "environmental fiasco," says a new report released on Wednesday by Greenpeace Canada.

The report, entitled "Fueling a Biomess," said that the practice used to consist of small-scale operations that used organic waste to produce energy. But it said that biomass could now be becoming even worse than some traditional fossil fuel options such as coal-fired electricity since producers are now targeting new forest ecosystems for energy.

"Significant forest bioenergy production will lead to an environmental fiasco," the report said. "Burning natural forest biomass — whether for electricity, heat or biofuels — is not carbon-neutral as governments and companies claim. Burning trees contributes to climate change for decades, as shown by the most up-to-date science, until replacement trees fully grow back."

This is incredible. I honestly did not know this was an issue in Canada, burning forests for energy.

And the US is giving a free pass to wind energy developers to kill whooping cranes and other migratory birds.

Somehow the green movement seems to be moving in the wrong direction.
