<h2>How is Cutting Down Trees Sustainable?</h2>
<p>Advocating for the use of biomass as a renewable source of energy – replacing fossil fuels – has become controversial among environmentalists. The comments on the previous article,
<a shape="rect" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsolar.lowtechmagazine.com%2F2020%2F05%2Fthermoelectric-stoves-ditch-the-solar-panels.html&data=04%7C01%7C%7C66a8ab12b20a4a281f4208d888a40f7d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637409585494438869%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=XkViknh9NcwqUDwtgokWIgZxN2QwZazeV0sECYxZqGE%3D&reserved=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">

CO2</span> than a coal power plant for every ton of wood/coal that is burned.”</li><li>“This is pure insanity. Burning trees to reduce our carbon footprint is oxymoronic.”</li><li>“The carbon footprint alone is just horrifying.”</li><li>“The biggest problem with burning anything is once it’s burned, it’s gone forever.”</li><li>“The only silly question I can add to to the silliness of this piece, is where is all the wood coming from?”</li></ul>
<p>In contrast to what the comments suggest, the article does not advocate the expansion of biomass as an energy source. Instead, it argues that already burning biomass fires – used by roughly 40% of today’s global population – could also produce electricity
as a by-product, if they are outfitted with thermoelectric modules. Nevertheless, several commenters maintained their criticism after they read the article more carefully. One of them wrote: “We should aim to eliminate the burning of biomass globally, not
make it more attractive.”</p>
<i><b>Apparently, high-tech thinking has permeated the minds of (urban) environmentalists to such an extent that they view biomass as an inherently troublesome energy source – similar to fossil fuels. To be clear, critics are right to call out unsustainable
practices in biomass production. However, these are the consequences of a relatively recent, “industrial” approach to forestry. When we look at historical forest management practices, it becomes clear that biomass is potentially one of the most sustainable
energy sources on this planet.</b></i></div>
