TITLE: Rekindling Wood Energy in America

SUBTITLE: What wood can teach us about energy

Consumers increasingly want energy that is renewable, clean, and affordable from solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass sources. One of the simplest and oldest of renewables is direct combustion of wood. Wood supplied more energy than fossil fuels in the United States until the 1880s, when coal superseded wood.
