Climate Week 2019 Screenings of “Burned: Are Trees the New Coal?”
Join us to see the film that’s got everyone talking about the biomass and wood pellet industries, and hear about the lawsuit filed against the European Union for treating burning trees as “zero-emissions.”

Thinning forests to reduce fire risk makes sense around structures, but is counterproductive in the backcountry
Maine legislators urged to reject subsidies for polluting biomass energy
People pay extra on their electricity bill to support clean energy, but with biomass they’re actually paying to pollute.
Senate Legislation Cedes the US Forest Carbon Sink to the Biomass Industry – Even as Forests Are Already Declining
We all know burning trees drives climate change, but Senate legislation now being considered would dictate that burning more trees does not increase carbon pollution.
Bioenergy in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has spent millions of dollars in public funds on bioenergy that emits more pollution than oil and gas.
Biopower in CA: do claims about forest thinning and emissions hold up?
Plans for forest thinning and biopower in California would require logging millions of forest acres per year. Is this really the state’s “carbon free” renewable energy plan?
“Renewable” biomass power cuts forests, pollutes the air, drains rivers, and worsens global warming
There’s no faster way to move carbon into the air than by cutting and burning forests, and permit data shows biomass is dirtier than coal. But consumers pay more for this so-called “clean” energy.
Vermont’s plans for bioenergy threaten forests
“Until the state has a solid understanding of how much wood is realistically available without diminishing the long-term health and diversity of our forests, and until there is a protective harvesting standard in place, there should be a moratorium on any new, large-scale facilities in Vermont.”
The biomass industry burns whole trees for fuel – here’s proof
The biomass industry often claims they don’t burn whole trees for fuel. New pictures show that not only are whole trees used for fuel, but these are very large trees indeed.
