Post in Should this clean energy forum continue?

To all:

I follow this discussion because of an interest in energy alternatives.

I've heard numerous references to "burning whole trees" but can't intuit
what difference it makes to burn whole vs. cut-up, split-up, shredded,
or otherwise un-whole trees.  Is it that whole tress may have a higher
moisture content and thus less BTU potential, or is it just the idea of
it that's upsetting?

Thanks,

Jeff Lacy
