Green Root Podcast #103: BIOMASS OR BIO-MESS? INCINERATING FORESTS FOR ELECTRICITY (with Hudson Kingston, CURE)

On episode 103 of the Green Root Podcast (the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance), Hudson Kingston, legal director for CURE, battles government plans in Minnesota to greenwash dirty, forest-killing “biomass” energy by ignoring carbon emissions from incinerating trees and trash for industrial-scale electricity.

Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Hudson about:

-How the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission wants to classify biomass energy as “carbon free” despite tree burning emitting more CO2 than coal.
-Risks to environmental justice communities from increased air pollution.
-Devastating impacts on public lands and Native American reservations.
-How we shouldn’t be switching from one polluting, climate-busting energy source (coal) to another (“biomass”).
-How this decision could have ramifications for greenwashing forest and trash incineration in Minnesota and across the U.S.
