That's what the pellet manufacturers told everyone. The reality is they are cutting down entire trees to make pellets for places like Drax power station. In fact, Drax purchased the largest timber company in British Columbia, Canada and is cutting down giant swathes of Canadian forests. One of Canada's politicians who was responsible for logging permits is now working for the logging company.
The pellet companies started with promising they'd only use what was left behind. The waste. They moved on to cutting down entire trees.
