Watch out for the new biomass economy driven by large biotech, chemical, forestry and agribusiness companies, says Jim Thomas. The new biomassters are on a global looting spree of the world’s natural resources to feed the consumption and capital accumulation of the industrialised North.

Proposals to increase biomass electricity generation in Energy [R]evolution, Greenpeace’s new scenario to wean the world off fossil fuels, are totally out of step with common ecological sense, writes Jim Thomas.
