Burn them for their energy and keep more coal in the ground seems like a good first step.

Burn them for their energy and keep more coal in the ground seems like a good first step.
- chii 8y agobut wood burns so much more dirtier than coal, and leaves much more uncombusted remains that then have to clean. The problem is energy (or lack thereof) - and so why not solve it directly by adding ever larger sources of renewables, which eventually will becomes enough that there's no need to burn any fossil fuels!
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoIs that so? Even when ground fine and with enough oxygen? For local heating, I heard good things about the efficiency and cleanliness of wood pellet heaters.
- DanBC 8y agoDid you hear those things from either people trying to sell you a wood pellet burner, or people who've just spent a lot of money money on a wood pellet burner?
- topkai22 8y agoPersonal anecdote- i bought a house with a wood pellet stove as a primary heat source. There was smoke damage to the paint everywhere.
