    Enjoying the info from both sides.
    I wonder with trees , crop residue
    Etc. Even if you do not burn them .
    Do they not decompose And produce
    CO2 some where along the line.
    There is a cycle
    If a tree falls in the forest and is not
    Burnt, how much CO2 is produced by its decomposition.
    Eventuly there will be a forest fire ,
    To release that carbon anyway .If it has not been
    Burnt for heat in the mean time.
    I can see coal oil and nat gas burning as being
    a contributor, since that carbon
    Is brought out of long long term storage.
    That is my 2 cents worth

      Kinda a waste seeing it go up in smoke in the field every fall.


      Funny biodegradable landscape construction fabric isn't made with flax fibre.

      I'm applying for both utility and design patents.
      You could start a new thread with your enterprise.

      So you are planning on linen your pockets.

      Spin us another line.

      If you get it going, we could call you the The Big Wheel.

        Pretty sure it is a strip mine for shipping coal on rail. Don’t think it will generate power in Alberta.

        Already a few other mines doing this in the crowsnest/ elk valley.

          I'd like to see what more coffee would provoke.

              So they will spend $84 million on a battery facility that will run 500000 homes for 1 hour. The biggest city in Victoria State is Melbourne at roughly 4.9 million people. So the battery would last 15-20 minutes powering Melbourne. In Alberta when it is -30 in January with maybe 6 hours of sun how many batteries would it take to get Edmonton or Calgary through the night? Or what if we all switched to electric heat like those who promote the green new deal would like us to? Fml take a reality pill please!

                  Just saw this in answer to questions posed above regarding burning wood pellets:
                  these factors in combination result in an additional, instantaneous CO2 release into the atmosphere of about 3.6 times that produced by burning Natural Gas for the same power output.
                  However the UK Policy to transition to imported Biomass, rather than Coal, generating ~7% of its power output at the Drax site adds the major part of excess CO2 emissions, ~29million tonnes per year for only 7% of power output. On the other hand the maximum potential CO2 reduction achieved by the use of Weather Dependent Renewables, (Wind and Solar) is about 20 million tonnes per year, (ignoring the CO2 output essential for their manufacture installation and maintenance).

                  Thus the policy to use of Biomass in the UK more than cancels out any potential CO2 emissions savings made by the use of Weather Dependent Renewables, (Wind and Solar).

                    and all the sheeple follow their leader
