Biomass is not THE answer. It is part of the answer: Genevieve Fraser

Invasive species attacking trees in Petersham, MA

Biomass is not THE answer. It is part of the answer, along with other renewables. But for the overall health and well being of the forest, biomass is an excellent tool for culling diseased trees and invasives and low-quality wood and enhancing wildlife habitat for a variety of species. I support biomass for dedicated uses...for schools, industry and municipalities. Roadside clearings can be put to good use reducing the cost of heat, and electricity. Greenhouses can be attached to utilize the CO2 emissions needed for plant growth. We can expand out industrial and agricultural base while reducing electrical and heating costs for business/industries and towns.
