I wouldn't say it's a definite bad thing as part of the energy mix. There's always going to be waste biomass, we have power stations capable of burning it, it's easily storable and dispatch able. I suppose the key is scale and where the material is coming from. Id also argue with the carbon neutrality position. Yes it may not be carbon neutral today. But that's because the other things haven't been made carbon neutral yet. It's like saying EVs aren't green because of the dirty grid. True, but as the grid greens so do the cars. We can't just switch everything over overnight, so inevitably there are going to be 'green' things today that rely on fossil fuels. I also don't get why it's backwards looking to rely on less dense energy. Wind is less dense, as is solar, as is hydro as is the energy input for heat pumps, as is the energy density of batteries. Are we going to replace these with uranium or wait for fusion? There's a reason we switched to energy dense fuels, yes. But there's a reason we're switching away too.
