Eliminates 75% of the carbon emissions associated with fossil fuel heating
Has roughly three times the impact of driving a hybrid car (per household)
Displaces twice as much imported oil as ethanol (per unit of biomass)
And we can grow enough biomass each year to dispose 3.6 billion barrels of oil
The United States Congress is considering The Renewable Energy Tax Parity Act, which provides a 30% tax credit on a new biomass heating appliance
that is at least 75% efficient.
The fate of this bill may be decided in the next few days.
