The EU and UK are backing the wrong horse in the race to net zero, a report comments
''Bioenergy has been much in the headlines over the last year, especially regarding the reform of the EU’s rules for how burning forest wood qualifies as “renewable energy.”
It’s always been far-fetched to rely on burning trees — which emit more CO2 than coal when burned and take decades to regrow — as a way to “reduce” emissions. ''
TCLS's view supports this assessment not only on the argument presented, but also trees should be left alone to provide greenery to the landscape and help climate change effects of floods and associated calamites.

That’s an interesting take. While it's true that the EU and UK might be prioritizing certain technologies over others in their net zero strategies, it's also important to remember that innovation often comes from unexpected places. For instance, just like in the digital world where tools like an email extractor can simplify what used to be time-consuming tasks, energy solutions may emerge from less obvious choices. Maybe it's time governments adopt more flexible, tech-driven approaches rather than committing too early to one path.
