Comment on Elements of Renewable Energy
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 months agoWood wouldn’t be a good option for powering a city, obviously. Neither is coal though.
Global warming isn’t going to be solved by a single solution. Wood makes sense for building materials and for heating in rural areas. It’s not going to be good for producing electricity, but fortunately there’s other technology for that.

Yes, however the article lists it as a power source (of course it’s great for building if possible) hence I’m looking at that aspect only. It’s more suitable for heating, however, again, at scale it would be problematic (at that’s not even a big one) plus emissions are not healthy. If you ignore emissions and use it for heating of few areas here and there (like it is a trend with pellets), taking into account growth rate, it could be a renewable I suppose.
