Again, John, you do not understand the science. Please read "The Biochar Solution" by Albert Bates so you have any understanding. Right now you are reactionary and clueless.

Lawrence you know what I think about "biochar". The name is a very good name
to sell a product that is quite bad for the planet.
Want to keep the planet cool? Then go for living trees and shrubs and all
sorts of plants. You want to do something good for the soil then let
residues rot in situ. That is food for living organisms. Bio-char is a dead
substance whatever the name.

That could be a lot of trees across the country utilizing losses from ash
dieback, pine beetle and other sources. I remember the years when pine
beetle devastated
quite a large number of southern yellow pines and possibly other
varieties.
If the harvesting is done on tree farms, state and national parks lands,
federal land,
private sector tracts growing timber for paper or lumber products then you
might have a lot of material to convert to biochar. The main issue is
getting the trees harvested and
transported to biochar production sites; who is going to pay for and do
this?
