Why Biomass Won't Solve our Energy Problem



There are other reasons, of course too. But this video shows how perennial biomass based energy is the same old industrial agriculture model that mines soil (or what's left of it) to make woody material for combustion energy. Of course, the soil givens out in these conditions like it always does when we treat it like a road surface, requiring constant inputs of NPK (oil-sourced of course) to keep on going.
So yes, just another wolf in sheep's clothing here friends.
Sounds good though! 'Woody biomass' or 'sustainably harvested woody biomass'. Renewable-sustainable-green-ecogroovy-don't worry we've got the solution covered keep burning up the energy and consuming your way into the future...
Yeah.
