    La energía de la biomasa es una verdadera solución solo si utiliza materia prima adecuada, como los desechos de los molinos y la agricultura o los cultivos perennes de cultivo sostenible. El uso de cultivos anuales de cereales como el maíz y el sorgo agota las aguas subterráneas y requiere altos insumos de energía. Usar bosques nativos es nada menos que una atrocidad.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
