re: Louisiana forests being sacrificed to fuel Europe's biomass boom

I would add that the local/regional industries that are competing for these raw materials are fighting an uphill battle against the Euro govt subsidies. Think about it...cut trees down across the south, turn them into fuel pellets, then SHIP them to Europe. Freight cost alone makes this industry unsustainable without Euro govt subsidies.

You guys know that these pellets are most likely made from waste products that are left over from other uses correct?
Most sawmills sell their wood chips from the planking process to these companies who turn them to pellets in my area.
