His continued support for the energy source is unethical and illogical from an economic and health perspective.
Enviva, the world’s largest woody biomass producer, will be placing its largest wood pellet production plant in Epes, Alabama, a remote town where 99% of residents are Black. Woody biomass is the process of burning trees for energy, and Enviva keeps putting woody biomass plants in predominantly Black communities, killing Black people and trees for profit.
However, increased subsidization of woody biomass is unwise because as renewable energy sources like solar and wind have become cheaper, woody biomass hasn’t followed suit. According to studies by Dominion Energy, Dominion’s least expensive biomass plant was more than double the energy efficiency cost of electricity from utility-scale solar and onshore wind. Additionally, the efficiency of woody biomass is 20%, which is lower than both wind and solar.
