Just a remind... renewable energy and green energy are two very different things. Charcoal and wood are renewable energy sources but are not green energy sources.

@freemo you just need to plant more trees than you take. it's like bittorrent :)

@bonifartius That doesnt make the act of burning them any less green though. just means in addition to the harm you did some seperate thing that did some good.

Its like saying gasoline is green cause I planted a tree when i was a kid.

@freemo why is burning wood non green?

is chemical energy non green?

It's only green if you burn the wood right after cutting it down, if you leave it in the woodpile for a year then it's dry.
If you burn Bill Gates then it's always green because you achieve Population Reduction, even if you leave him out to dry first.

But make sure to stand at a safe distance otherwise you might get flash burns if there's a Malthusian Explosion.
