Yes we should use electricity instead and burn natural gas…. Instead of the carbon neutral wood.
Also like 1/5 of the power in Maine comes from burning biomass anyway. So even if you’re not burning wood, you’re burning wood.

LOL wood isn't carbon neutral when you inhale it in the valley. Wood is both dirty and unsustainable all at once. Amazing how many have convinced themselves otherwise with heavy doses of confirmation bias. EPA needs to crack down on toxic wood smoke from all sources.

Wood is still carbon neutral when you inhale it.
Wood is not sustainable as a heating source for all, but it’s very sustainable as a heating source for some.
Maine produces a fair amount of its power from burning wood, so using more electricity is causing more wood to be burned…
EPA has required reburners on new wood stoves making them much cleaner and more efficient.

As soon as you realize we are a failed genetic mutation on an evolutionary cul-de-sac you'll feel so much better.
