      What do you call it when they chop down North Carolina forests, ship the wood on a diesel powered barge to Europe, then burn it in a power plant? “Green Energy”https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article238395173.html …

      Unfortunately the fake environmental movement is on the verge of economically outgrowing the real one. Using whatever energy source is cheapest and putting the savings into conserving forests and wildlife habitat always wins over these greenwashing scams.

      Economically outgrowing the real one. What is the real environmental movement? Honestly asking.

      Preserving species and ecosystems though conservation of land and aquatic habitat and prevention of pollution. Essentially, protecting the biodiversity of living things as the primary goal, and avoiding tricks that improve one metric at greater expense to the overall goal.

      Carbon neutrality is an example of a metric that’s overemphasized. It’s a fine goal, but absolutely no justification for cutting forests and burning them, building dams all over aquatic habitat, etc. What good is carbon if we’ve killed off the ecosystems that consume it?

      I wonder if anyone is gonna even point out that high carbon environments actually improve plant growth, increase crop yield, and expand human environmental health.

      All while trapping more heat the atmosphere, increasing seawater acidity and making everyone a little dumber.

      Blaming a diffuse "fake" environmental movement is ofc misleading. This is the result of badly implemented gov regulations & business making money out of it. If NC trees are burned in Europe, there is clearly something wrong on the NC side.

      Well, the problem is EU government subsidizing EU energy providers who burn wood pellets, and penalizing other forms of energy. On the North Carolina side, you just have rural landowners deciding when and how to sell their timber.

      Until very recently, it was sustainable timber practices - cutting pines on a 30 year cycle and hardwoods on a 60+ year cycle, meaning the forests are on a growth and recovery cycle that can support natural ecology to a reasonable degree.

          That was to produce wood boards to build houses, something wood is very energy and carbon efficient for! Now they’s clearcutting scrub on a much faster cycle that leaves no semblance of nature in place, they’re shipping it to Europe in diesel barges to burn it.

          As I said, there needs to be some kind of regulation in place to prevent this.
