BURNED: Are Trees the New Coal?

Season 7 Episode 19 | 1h 25m 15s

BURNED: Are Trees the New Coal? takes a hard look at woody biomass. Using interviews with experts, activists, and citizens, along with footage shot across the world, BURNED interweaves the science of climate change, escalating energy-policy disputes and the dynamics of forest ecology. This film presents a visceral account of a somewhat unknown national and international controversy.
