🍁KEYBOARD-MOUSE-SCREEN🍁@greenpeace I would extend this thought one step further, and point out that plants/tree etcetera are using solar energy all the time, and we don't need to construct anything to make that happen.
The construction of solar panels, taken from start to finish, is just as dirty and polluting as any other industrial process.
I just wonder where we are at on that.
Andy Gates@dckim @greenpeace the construction doesn't lead to consumption, it's appliances that just work. And can be recycled.
Why were you planning on doing with those trees? Burning them for power is crappy.
@andygates @greenpeace true, you can't really burn the wood for power, but for heating in the winter, it's pretty good.
The odd bonfire is pretty good too but, it really does all depend on the type of wood.
Generally I just meant photosynthesis.
@dckim @greenpeace home wood burners don't scale (and they're bad for you, all that soot!).
@andygates @greenpeace you're right, it gets in the house, and then the soot gets into things. Similarly with an oil furnace. It also ends up with a lot of dust getting blown around because you need those blowers.
There are some people up my way using those pellet wood stoves. I'm in Ontario, there is a lot of wood here.
