Yep. A few places I know have biomass boilers fitted. Windows open running flat out, plus 2 radiators in the workshop!Paid to plant them, paid to burn them.

All good stuff these schemes.... makes you freaking sick when you see the amount of heat wasted and wood burnt just to turn a poxy meter when you look at the amount of individual homes that could keep warm and do some real good !!Yep.

The only realistic reliable option is nuclear. We rely on France who have invested in it.There's 30 artic loads of timber passing my house everyday. Half of it gets chipped and I believe a lot get burnt to produce electricity for the grid. They are cutting them down as fast as they can. You couldn't make this up
Surely rewilding and tree planting aren't the same thing?
Just a different type of monoculture?
I sold a 5 acre field 2 years ago, that was reclaimed from gorse in 1954, for a guy to plant amenity woodland. Full circle in 70 years.
He's planted about 1/4 of the density for commercial woodland, encouraged people to divert off his footpath that runs through it.
In 10 years it will be diverse habitat, much better than the gorse of old. View attachment 1007554

In the 60's a welsh valley was stolen by parliament and Liverpool, to provide water to Liverpool, the farmers who lived there were given short shift, national infrastructure project.

my daughter wanted to train as a vet, at one stage, so when we had a vet here, I would ask where they trained and how the course was.yes i remember reading about that now
I won't accept climate change at all so long as carbon credits are being proposed or discussed. Carbon credits or carbon taxes are utter BS. Money swapping hands does not change emissions and that is a fact.
the example I heard was, is it ok to kill someone, if right after I pay a surrogate mother to have a baby!Trading carbon credits is a bit like me chugging about in my old Land Rover every day but making it ok by buying my neighbour a couple of pints when he gives me a lift to the pub in his electric car!
Did she revert about the dockers and Hillsborough too?my daughter wanted to train as a vet, at one stage, so when we had a vet here, I would ask where they trained and how the course was.
We were washing our wellies and I asked a vet.
She said Liverpool.
My son looked at her (guessing he was in his very early teens) and asked her if she was Welsh? When she said yes, he then asked her how she could go to Liverpool Uni after what they had done to us.
She looked a little perplexed and didn't know what he was going on about.
He then said "Liverpool stole our water and flooded our valley's".
I remember my Gran telling me about the farmers farming Castlemartin (Cawdor Estate) being given 6 weeks before they were thrown off their farms the start of the second world war too. I went to college with a lad who's grandparents used to farm there before they were thrown off.Remember Tryweryn is the translation.

An old vet from Bala used to say the place was full of liver fluke anyway although I suspect it was tongue in cheek.Remember Tryweryn is the translation.

..... I hope you sold the land in 1970's prices ........just to keep things in tune !OK. I detest cliches for a start. Someone will be along with " Each to their own " shortly.......
Yes., it's ridiculous. Plant half a dozen trees, and it's then OK to spaff 36,000 gallons of fuel on a 12 hour flight.
On the other hand........folks should do what they want with their own land. More land taken out of food production must be a bonus. Having just sold some land in Wales, I can confirm tree planting multi - nationals were non existent .
Who would have believed that something as simple as a tree could become a virtue totemBottom line is every ton of food that isn't grow here has to be carted here from abroad so the whole idea is a sham from the get go but it looks good and gives consumers a warm fuzzy feeling inside that they are saving the world.
Given the ideas these people have for saving the world are so far off from where they need to be. And given they won't even recognise that it's the number of people on the plant thats the problem even though its staring them in the face, there is no point paying attention to the drivel they spout.
The burning of wood (or gas) to generate electricity, to power air & ground source heat pumps, versus using the calorific benefit of either to heat homes is a form of circular insanity only politicians could conjure up!There's 30 artic loads of timber passing my house everyday.
