Um... why?

The energy content of wood is minuscule compared to petroleum products.
Burning wood is why there are few forests in Europe. They were all converted
to charcoal during the Middle Ages.

If the wood had any more value, it wouldn't be used for firewood.

Lots full of fast-growing weed trees would be a possibility.
Dunno which species would burn well and clean.
Coppice -- saplings arising from tree stumps -- were
once a popular, renewable fuel source. Hack them down,
and more grow back to take their place.

I'm more concerned about the movement to ban pointy sticks.
They are bio-mass. We just got one up and running.
Since there are fires in the forest around here - and tree farms -
Burnt trees are not useful in wood industry or paper. The carbon
and the hard resins are the evil parts.
So they are sent to the biomass plant to be ground up.
Also the city cuts trees - they go there not ground fill or compost
piles if the piles are ample for the year.
We ourselves have oak that we burn but the sweetgum and pine we won't.
Might use splinters of pine to light a fire but not a log or bolt.
The Bio-mass plant can burn any wood fuel coal fuel and gas fuel.
It is a state of the art plant. We are lucky to have the booster
close in as the hurricanes blow over thousands of trees a year -
those are normally burned in the field - smoke and all.
Far better in a biomass as it burns hot and scrubs the exhaust
for anything that might escape the recycled exhaust.
Consider the wood in the field - rotting and termites which produce
more ozone gas as they digest the trees to nothing.

The cost of wood as a heating source is minuscule compared to petroleum
products. Burning wood is only a small part of why there are few forests in
Europe. Wood was used for far more than heat during the middle ages.

They are paying dearly now. I happen to be in Italy right now. Heating oil
is the same price as diesel at the pump. I paid $7.64 a gallon yesterday.
Typical home temperatures in winter are about 60 degrees.

And of that $7.64, approximately $1.00 went for the gas. The rest was taxes.

'Fraid not. But cut him some slack. It not the validity of the mass movement
that attracts him, it is the movement itself that gives meaning to his
otherwise bland existence.
The Monty Python folks had a skit once showing a meeting of the Committee to
Stack Things Atop Other Things ("We have here a correspondence from the
Coldstream branch. During the past week, they have managed to stack ELEVEN
things on top of other things!" "Hear, hear!").
Wish we could get the environmentalists diverted to such a project. It would
serve their personal needs ... as well as ours.

The trees were gonna die and rot someday (if left on the ground) anyway, if
they were not used as building material.
If they rotted (oxidized) naturally the same amount of CO2 would have
been emitted.
If they were buried so deep that they got no biodigestion, they'd fix
carbon and keep CO2 from the atmosphere.
If they were used as building material, they essentially fix carbon as
above.
So, what's the problem?
"We the people" is a bad name for a petition until it is proven that it is
overwhelmingly supported by a VAST majority of knowledgeable folks.
I have heard people say that it's okay to kill cows for meat but not deer,
because cows are ugly and not free to roam, whereas deer are pretty and free
spirits. Go figure. Are you one of them, too?

Around here, we take our demolition wood, shrubbery, and other green
waste to the JoGro facility. They take sludge from the solid waste
treatment plant, mix it with ground greens and some ammonia, pile it
high, let it cook, and it turns into some really nice non-organic
compost. I use it as mulch in the yard, saving organic compost for my
garden.
Pass the venison, please!
