<![CDATA[Imagine Sonoma County]]> Commentics Jenny Blaker 100% renewable needs to mean solar + storage, wind + storage, and geothermal I think. It should never include forest woody biomass, as wood converted to electricity is not clean (highly toxic), not carbon neutral (produces more carbon emissions than coal) and not renewable (mature trees are the best way to sequester carbon; it takes decades for large trees to be replaced, if at all, and we haven't got decades!) So we need to push for honest carbon accounting. See https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/debunking_the_biomass_myth/pdfs/Forest-Bioenergy-Briefing-Book-March-2021.pdf
