Biomass: The Chain of Destruction
"Biomass electricity in the UK = clear-cutting of ancient swamp forests + bulldozing of traditional communities' lands + deprived UK communities bearing the brunt of toxic emissions. Our latest report just launched at a public meeting in London, includes the first detailed case study of a land-grab linked directly to Europe's new demand for wood-based bioenergy. Clearly, large-scale biomass electricity is not clean and green and no more renewable than Brazil's Cerrado or North Carolina's swamp forests which are being cut down for it." (Quoted from article)
