The province of Nova Scotia is clearcutting our forests and burning them for energy. It is basically a giant bonfire. It’s not a physically efficient means of producing energy. It’s not economical. The plants that do this are even subsidized by the government. They are calling it “biomass” and a “renewable energy” source. On the books this non-renewable completely senseless waste is considered renewable energy. We should hold them accountable. —Tree Hugger

Why can’t we burn garbage instead?
@ C. W. Ottaway burning trash produces toxic by-products, such as sulfur dioxide and even mercury. Not exactly a long-term solution.
I have read a few articles about Sweden burning garbage cleanly. It would certainly get two birds stoned at once!
