This is not something to be proud of. Burning entire forests just so you can claim you're using enviro-friendly renewables. "Biofuels". What a joke.
It's gotten so bad that they're importing lumber from other countries to meet the demand, including the US.

If you decide to research it, avoid google. It censors their results and all you get is a few bloggers talking about it. Use Duckduckgo.

Aren't you supposed to capitalize the first letter of the first word after the semicolon?

Nope. Colon yes; semicolon no. ;)
(Although I think he should have used a colon in that sentence anyway. :)

Since they burned up most of the coal in the age of steam, this isn't surprising.
