Moisture inside the cells, moisture between the cells and moisture bound to the cell walls… moisture that will have to be evaporated before the wood will catch fire. Back in 2016, Daines introduced legislation that would encourage carbon sequestration.Europe’s bioenergy plants are burning trees felled from protected conservation areas rather than using forest waste, new report shows.Protected forests are being indiscriminately felled across Europe to meet the EU’s renewable energy targets, according to an investigation by the conservation group Birdlife.Up to 65% of Europe’s renewable output currently comes from bioenergy, involving fuels such as wood pellets and chips, rather than wind and solar power.Bioenergy fuel is supposed to be harvested from residue such as forest waste but, under current legislation, European bioenergy plants do not have to produce evidence that their wood products have been sustainably sourced.Birdlife found logging taking place in conservation zones such as Poloniny national park in eastern Slovakia and in Italian riverside forests around Emilia-Romagna, where it said it had been falsely presented as flood-risk mitigation.The referenced report, which details forest destruction around the world, not just in Europe, is available here.There is this other little thing about wood from these trees. Last July, Daines sponsored the 'CO2 Regulatory Certainty Act' which would amend the Internal Revenue Code to revise requirements for the secure geological storage of carbon oxide.
Nuclear heating would would work here. Usually these are gas fired or steam heated. Ie, most of it is water.So you have to spend energy to get rid of most of that water which means a dryer to condition your wood pellets or sawdust or whatever. It depends on the wood source and species but it isn’t uncommon at all to find 150% and more moisture content in raw wood fibre. So…100.*(Wet wood wt-dry wood wt)/(dried wood weight) is known as the moisture content.
They went from the pinnacle of human development, freedom, economic excellence and education to turning this around into the brutality of another Dark Ages. They went the opposite way to the USSR. Despite their horrors and the propaganda, they at least gave their children a superior education outside of the political sphere and they lead the world into the space age and became a formidable power rising up from ignorant peasants.The scariest chapter in human history is being written in Europe. It is far worse than the USSR was. This is a manifestation of the ugliness and amorality of an ideology that wants to govern the world. I felt bad about that in the 1970s when environmental issues were beginning to twig the conscience of folks in North America.Today, and in Europe no less, this is a horror show.
They are not permitted to cut forest trees or fruit trees. Another year or two perhaps and this option would have been foreclosed on.Biomass power plants — I remembered in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India cleared around 38 biomass power plants. Thank God, the UK and the USA (at least half of each – the other half is brain dead). When I witnessed the fear of the citizens of the unparallelled historical colossus that was Britain over leaving this creation of the living dead, I was fully awakened to the magnitude of what had been laid out before us.

–Craig Woodhouse, The Sun, 26 January 2016”.Congratulations to the IME for their conclusion – the IME is correct, but rather late in the game.As stated previously, we predicted this severe energy shortfall in our 2002 written debate with the warmist Pembina Institute. Prices will be forced up as the UK has to import more power, according to a report by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers today. Also they took full advantage of the spare time they then had to make babies, they tripled their population.Babies grow up, need houses to live in and hence need ever more wood to build said houses.All the trees in Ethiopia are now gone, save for a few in the gardens of government buildings, and Ethiopia is in a permanent state of famine and drought – even though annual rainfall is exactly as it always was.As if there weren’t enough precedents in history over the last 3,000 or so years, when a civilisation, any civilisation cuts down its last tree – that civilisation ends.But we all know, Climate Change was/is always the cause.So some of us may wonder, did the trees cause the climate or did the climate cause the trees?Its another of those pesky feedback systems that human brains struggle to grasp – especially when stupefied by a carbohydrate based diet – as almost all of us are on and have little choice about it.In the UK and the Commonwealth, sue the government leaders and their minions for Negligence and Misfeasance in a Public Office.In the USA, sue them under Civil RICO statutes and Malfeasance in Office.Sue them before the two-year Statue of Limitations runs out.Just do it, before these slime-green scoundrels and imbeciles do any more damage to the environment.Sent to a few friends in the UK this morning:Re: “Energy bills will soar as green policies shut coal-fired power stations and cause an “electricity supply crisis”, experts say. And it was fairly successful in its aim of getting food to Ethiopia – seemingly suffering drought and famine at the time.Also at that time, Ethiopia was 40% covered with trees.Of course being exclusively carbohydrate mush that was sent, it needed cooking and the locals cut wood to cook it.
Their energy costs are soaring and these governments are in retreat, dropping their green energy subsidies as fast as they politically can.I suggest there is a two-year time limit to launch a lawsuit for Negligence and Misfeasance in a Public Office* against the parties who foisted this costly green-energy fraud on society.In the USA, lawsuits under Civil RICO have finally been initiated, as I suggested on wattsup in 2014:“The test of science is its ability to predict.’CO2 is CO2 whether it comes from biomass or fossil fuel. Making similar points.Governments that adopted “green energy” schemes such as wind and solar power are finding these schemes are not green and produce little useful energy. “The ultimate agenda of pro-Kyoto advocates is to eliminate fossil fuels, but this would result in a catastrophic shortfall in global energy supply – the wasteful, inefficient energy solutions proposed by Kyoto advocates simply cannot replace fossil fuels.”I wrote the UK Stern Commission in 2005 that the UK’s approach to alleged manmade global warming and green energy was ill-founded and would greatly increase energy costs, with no benefit to the environment.In 2013 I wrote an open letter to Baroness Verma, then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.
Molecule per molecule, DHMO is a stronger IR absorber than the CO2 molecule. The biggest form of so called greenhouse gas polution is not CO2 but rather DHMO which is also a product of combustion of most fuels. People should endeavor to exhale less.
