   Wood pellets are worse than coal

   "Wood pellets sourced in the United States and burned for energy in the United Kingdom emitted up to 17.6 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2019, yet most of this carbon accounting wasn’t included in the U.K. national greenhouse gas inventory. If it had been, it would have raised the emissions of the electricity generation sector between 22 and 27 percent."

     • Misuse Case

     @MisuseCase So much fraud and lies occur to do anything and everything to pretend that we can have infinite growth on a finite planet. The greedy elite are trying to squeeze out another 10-20 years of profits before it all goes up in flames. The biggest industry today is lying.

     @gerrymcgovern But wood pellets are counted as “renewable” energy, it’s ridiculous.
