Abstract:
The state is debating their position on woody biomass. Wood is considered a renewable resource, but only if policies are in place to prevent clear-cutting. Studies show that burning wood for energy releases more greenhouse gases than coal, but the North Carolina Forestry Association and others still support burning wood. The environmental and health effects of cutting down trees to use for fuel are explored.

Abstract:
Iowa is the top state in the production of biofuels with 751 million gallons produced in 2005. Tennessee, which is ranked tenth, produced 67 million gallons in the same year. North Carolina lags behind the other states in this area, producing no ethanol and less than 20,000 gallons of biodiesel in 2006. Knowland discusses how the state plans to expand this industry.
