A similar decision in the UK resulted in clear-cutting old growth forests to feed biomass-burning power plants, with all the associated increase in atmosphere CO2
You also get all the same health consequences as burning coal. This is not a good move

Well, they are not wrong. Trees are basically carbon neutral, they naturally release their carbon into the atmosphere when they die and rot, burning causes the same effect, just faster. Algae are the real carbon sinks, because when they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean. Coal isn’t because it is carbon that has been sequestered underground.
