A side benefit of burning the petroleum is trees do grow much faster and bigger.

Somehow there is a synergy here we haven’t quite accessed.

Burn petroleum => release CO2 => tree grows, sequesters CO2 => use tree for something that doesn’t burn it or compost it …

I feel like we are on the edge of figuring this out.
