Wood as Renewable Capital | Made in Germany

As the oil supply decreases,wood is the subject of renewed interest particularly for fuel,but also as a building material. This means big profits for the German timber industry and renewable capital.Timber is more abundant in Germany than anywhere else in Europe,and Berlin is determined to keep it that way. Despite industrial Germanys tremendous demand for raw materials,forests in the country have been carefully cultivated,not completely chopped down over the last centuries. Report by Sonja Schock.

Interesting thought,,,

Forests are solar energy in a less direct form. A consequence of the paper recycling policy is that undergrowth, like that which is chipped and used for the power station example, became unprofitable to clear away and process into paper, with the result that forest fires were much more aggressive than was previously the case.
