Exorbitant energy prices are fueling the talk about "renewable energy." Our own governor recently passed a bill to have Colorado derive 20% of its energy needs from renewables by 2020. It is enlightening to follow the discussion, especially in the news media since even way back when as a young forester it was quite apparent that wood is a renewable resource.
I trust the dialogue will continue and be backed up with funding to develop viable markets for our dying Colorado forests.
Technological innovations have always made America great. Recent developments in woody biomass heating plants and economic solutions for converting cellulose into ethanol show great promise in making wood a big part of the renewable energy mix. The Board of the Colorado Forestry Association will continue to provide input into these "new initiatives" and share our progress with you through our website.
The Colorado Forestry Association (CFA) is the Colorado chapter of the National Woodland Owners Association. Founded in 1884, its original mission was to support conservation, management and renewal of forests through forestry legislation, public education and creation of forest reserves.
