Harper just took rivers and streams away from environmental protection in his last budget.
Buut we have in BC huge amounts of beetle killed wood. There is a pilot plant in Ottawa (I think) that is producing 30,000 L of cellulostic ethanol from wood chips, so there is promise there. In the interior of BC we have a number of wood chip fueled generating stations, and quite a few operations pelletising the dead trees.
