Comment
A important opportunity has presented itself.

Golden State Natural Resources is apparently stepping away from
production of wood pellets, transporting them to port cities, and
shipping them over seas to be burned.

This company wrongly asserts 0n its webpage that "...our forest
have become a danger to the environment."  Given your broader
understanding of climate change, emissions, and sequestration, I do
not believe you agree with this perspective.

As you know, based on research by the Center for Biological
Diversity and others, the production and collection of trees and
other material results in large emissions and pellet production
results in more emissions through transportation over long
distances and for burning.

I wish California had acted on this important information, but
luckily the public did and now pellet production by GSNR is not a
threat at the moment.  This is good for the earth and the forests
by which pellet production placed even more pressure on them due to
what some dreamed was a profitable way to use our forests.

This development by GSNR buys us a little time to perhaps
recalculate our models to include the "over all" emissions
associated with so called forest biomass.

Thank you all for your incredibly important work.

Kimberly Burr, Esq.
