"In a farce so perverted and obscene" Wow, that guy is really bloviating. There is a huge dollop of hypocrisy in labeling wood burning as nature friendly, but it has its advantages, too. For example, you do not have to mine it, unlike coal. I grew up in a coalmining region and the work underground is both rather dangerous and has extreme CAPEX requirements; modern mining equipment is expensive. We have a lot of wood in Europe north of the Alps. Just look at the satellite maps of tree cover. It is not a scarce resouce and, unlike coal, it replenishes itself if competently managed. By far the worst problem I personally see with burning wood is the contamination of air with solid particles.
