No. Just no. You can’t justify clearcutting logs for power generation by citing forest fires. Forest fires are happening in part because of forest management

No. Just no.
You can’t justify clearcutting logs for power generation by citing forest fires.
Forest fires are happening in part because of forest management practices that support logging. Not to mention climate change causing more heat, and bringing invasive species that kill trees. This is a positive feedback loop that would have all of north america as treeless as ireland if we accept “it’s gonna burn anyway”
Forest fires are a natural part of the ecosystem - when the forest is managed well a fire can burn through quickly killing VERY few trees.
