Actually not as bad as I thought it would be!
- tremon 5y agoThanks for that, I really wish everybody could stop classifying the burning of biomass as "renewable" in these discussions. Yes, I understand that it's part of the carbon cycle, but burning it still results in more CO2 in the air than before. In other words, it's a net negative for carbon sequestration.
