    It’s not that dumb because it can be a somewhat “closed system” for carbon capture. You grow trees that capture carbon, you burn them, releasing their carbon and you replace them with new trees and so on. Obviously it creates other problems like monoculture and such but as a non fossil “low carbon” energy source it could be locally interesting if you have space and water to spare.

      They are burning ancient woodland. Areas of trees that have never been cut down. We’re losing them and need to stop.

        Well yeah that situation is definitely bad obviously. I just argued on the point of burning wood for electricity.
