Thank you very much Jeremy. And the New Mexico Forestry web site does not say this as well as you have said it. Therefore, I assume that you mean that careful and appropriate thinning would be beneficial and that processing that "slash" and any other slash or yard trash into fuel ethanol could be a wise use of a waste resource. Thanks for the clarification and your expertise. Can you also give us some reference material?
Thanks, Peggy Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Methanol from Trees Hello, I am an Arborist (tree care specialist) and have done research on our "renewable" resource "trees". In the logging industry large stands of wood with little to no pathogen (mineral trace) bring the highest dollar amount. Whereas spindly, scrawny, weakling trees are of little to no value to the logger thus where legal this is what is left. Strong stock produces strong offspring. Weak, spindly, diseased trees produce offspring in like manner. Trees injured by the felling of neighboring ones are left to become infected by pathogen. These infected trees then produce inferior seed which then grow into inferior stock. The interim answer for this problem is to remove diseased and severely damaged trees from the forest leaving the good stock that is left for future reproduction of a stronger healthier lineage. _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
