Nice idea but surely all the chainsaws, loaders, trucks, diggers would burn so much diesel it isn't worth it?

- alexose 4y agoThat's a good point. Though, it might be possible to tack the sequestration step onto existing thinning and/or fuel reduction projects.

- Ancalagon 4y agoYou should be able to electrify all of those components at this point, no? Sorry maybe that is a dumb question, I just dont know.
