I learned last week that CA used to do a lot of biomass-fired electricity generation. Stopping that helped increase wildfire. More CO2, no energy to show for it. The ironies of decarbonization are fun.

The amount of planet-warming gases Californians released into the atmosphere in 2020 was 9% less than the previous year. But the quantity of carbon dioxide spewed by record-setting wildfires effectively erased almost two decades of emission reductions. latimes.com/environment/st

Megafires in CA in 2021 put more carbon in the atmosphere than tesla abated globally in the same year. Expeditious fuel treatment is a no brainer, and biomass electricty generation and biochar production via pyrolysis could be huge wins on top.
