Hi Nick & All, Jan 8, 2016
With respect to your first paragraph you know perfectly well that =
good hardwood was in fact harvested for this purpose; foolish and =
destructive as it surely was. For expansion of this see my e-mail of Mar =
1, 2015. At least now, so I understand, some quality logs are being set =
aside but the overall operation, as I understand it, is far removed from =
acceptable.
That mess was generated as a consequence of the usual; good =
intensions gone wrong. "acting for our financial well-being" was not =
part of the planning equation. But without doubt the harvesters were =
acting for their financial well-being.=20
The necessary ingredients for good resource management are open =
minds, unbiased information, foresight, timely fine tuning and freedom =
from emotional obstruction fueled by misinformation.
Sifting through the huge "information" dunghill and extracting those =
sparse brown pearls of wisdom is a valid activity on Naturens and is one =
major reason why I am here. It is a huge learning opportunity and a =
forum in which those brown pearls can perhaps become less brown.

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.=20
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.

You lost me at:
"Biomass, from forest or otherwise, is one potential way to reduce =
carbon footprint so I think every effort should be made to foster and =
expand this as quickly as possible."
I'm hoping you meant storing Carbon in biomass by leaving forests =
intact rather than burning them...?
But I fear not.
