The point is small communities should be able to have local renewable solutions, even though the solution would not scale to large communities.

Is that the point? Because that's not what the tweets are about at all...

No, but people who live in big cities tend to advocate for solutions that only make sense in big cities. It's certainly worth keeping a bit of perspective.

Worth what? Nobody is stopping or complaining about rural homeowners burning wood pellets for heat. This is specifically about using imported, overseas pellets in a retrofitted coal plant to produce electricity. It's an inefficient environmental disaster.
Wood burning is fine in the same way ICE vehicles are fine, when you have one it's nice, when you have a billion it's a whole other problem
