The Natural Resources Defense Council Has a Strange Position on Biomass

I’m surprised to see the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) make such a broad statement, since there are numerous situations in which biomass is a boon to our environment.

Take forest waste as an example.  Here’s woody mass that would otherwise either decay, or worse, catch on fire, in either case releasing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Using some form of gasification to break the mass down and extract the energy is a great idea.
