Many comments in this thread are simplistic and handwaving. Burning wood at mass scale as an energy source is not necessarily carbon neutral just because trees can grow back. Additionally wood is not an energy dense fuel and it is expensive to process and transport. Importing any wood from America to Europe for fuel, regardless the percentage is insane and is the product of greenwashing demagoguery. If wood is such a great fuel source then at least Europeans could source it from their eastern and northern regions which are as heavily forested if not more so as the east coast of the USA. A far better thing for governments to support would be substituting wood and wood based products for plastic in durable structures and packaging.
