The end of your comment makes some sense. The beginning is a puzzle. Who's using biomass? It's <1.5% of energy generation in the US -- you're pretty special and living in an unusual place if you get any substantial energy from that source.

Biomass is over 40% of Europe's "renewable" energy.

It's over 10% of renewables in the US. So not that unusual.

I was referring to Europe. Right now Europe looks like a paradise compared to the US.
