It is only the naysayers who set up "Pollution-Free" as a claim so that they can knock it down in their arguments. Without that claim, their arguments would be (and are) meaningless.

Burning or using WOOD from renewable forests has to be close to pollution-free because trees are absorbing CO2 and giving off oxygen. Forests are being burned and plowed under because the people of Earth are producing too many offspring! Also, devouring many other non-renewable resources. Excess people and heat from cities and even crime from cities where everyone is anonymous - IS ALL tied together in this and almost ALL ISSUES AND DISCUSSIONS. It IS the basis for ALL of the earth's problems and solutions. Soon after our lives are over, massive hordes of CLIMATE migrators will come up from South America and also into Europe from the equator. This will NOT be pretty! And OUR grandkid's children will HAVE to head NORTH to Canada!
