The "burning" INSIDE of living organisms is the key to long term success, not the external combustion of forests for heat, which has always been one of the hard limitations to the growth of human cities, until coal and peat...

We have a long way to go, and one can't really understand it until one starts doing the homework of burning less, which does not mean getting an electric car, when you do all the figuring...

How much do you walk and bike? Drive? Got a vegetable garden? AC & heat?

Where does electricity come from?

I agree. What really counts is the combustion that occurs within living things. Increase biomass by giving living systems space to grow. That sequesters both carbon and water. That's the trend we need. And it is the biggest untold story in climate.

You tell me. Where does electricity come from?

Electricity mostly comes from burning stuff, but some from dams, wind, solar and nuclear power plants.
