how about allowing loggers to cut down some trees instead of just burning it or capturing that energy released. Allows people to take that home for firewood. Personally, I burn wood for the winter and cooking.
You don't burn to kill the trees. You burn to clear up the dry, flammable plant material on the ground. If controlled burns are conducted regularly, this fuel does not build up enough to create large fires that kill trees.
I'm not personally opposed (though most of that kind of harvesting might disturb a lot of habitat, potentially introducing non-native invasives. But, it is also a fact that a lot of plant life is dependent on fire.
