Hey, no worries. It's interesting how nature changes.

Yes, true, it's one of the 40,000+ "accidents".

That's interesting. You have an url handy for now details? Even if this wasn't the case, fossil generation isn't real feasible for us anyway.

TIL. But I'm not convinced that this would solve the problem for good. But it certainly helps with growth.

Yes, however the article lists it as a power source (of course it's great for building if possible) hence I'm looking at that aspect only. It's more suitable for heating, however, again, at scale it would be problematic (at that's not even a big one) plus emissions are not healthy. If you ignore emissions and use it for heating of few areas here and there (like it is a trend with pellets), taking into account growth rate, it could be a renewable I suppose.

That certainly helps, but still, at scale is hardly sustainable.

If you look at it like that, fossil is renewable as well. Just a tiny bit slower, but still, given enough time ... :)

Sure, that's all nice. However at what scale is that sustainable? Also burning wood yields all sorts of fine particles, not just CO2, which are not good for humans. Plus we are reducing forests at global level. Can you imagine the forest area for providing power to a whole city?

Is biomass renewable, though? I mean it takes a lot of time for a tree to grow. A lot.

Apparently US doesn't have problems even if Israel attacks their own warships.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident Why would a bunch of individuals matter...
