Another solid, sobering round of reporting. Thanks, Jason. I wonder if you know what percentage of wood-burning comes from households (like yours and mine) compared to wood-fired (wood chips, I guess) power plants.
Excellent question, Bryan, but not one I'd looked into. A quick search turns up this from the Energy Information Administration, which I think answers your question in the set of percentages at the end: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/biomass/wood-and-wood-waste.php. Vermont and Maine, btw, are the top states still burning wood for heat. Nationwide, about 2 percent of homes burn wood as primary heat and another 8 percent burn it as secondary heat.
Great series and reporting. Thanks.
Thank you, Michael. It's a lot of information, but I think it's good to lump it together like this to show the larger pattern.
