Is producing electricity from woody biomass safe and reliable?
Yes. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, over 40 million mega-watt hours of electricity were produced from wood fuels in the U.S. in 2007. That’s enough electricity to supply nearly half the demand of Missouri and more production than from U.S. wind and solar generation combined. 39 out of 50 U.S. states had wood fueled electricity generators in service as of 2007.
