Index of Subjects --001a113eff8cd1f1590528c72124 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Oh Jim, no one would be so stupid as to put good forest into a burner electroconvetrer losing 70% of its energy in conversion and that calcium and habitat from the forest floor. Now, there are ways to grow biomass but that too needs habitat planning. It sounds as if the Nova Scotia naturalists ..nature NS ..should take a stand on how and when to use biomass before what is important to us is further threatened by those who say they are acting for our financial well-being. While this may be so, indiscriminate conversion of foresy biomass would be doing our kids a disservice.
