The Rim Fire burned over 257,000 acres during the 2013 California wildfire season. To date it is the largest wildfire on record in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Using Housing and Urban Development (US HUD) disaster relief funds, the US Government is posed to log this naturally regenerating forest and burn the trees for biomass electricity generation, in what local experts are calling a "Clearcut-for-Kilowatts" project. This proposal will not only destroy important wildlife habitat, it will emit more carbon dioxide than coal (per unit of energy produced), release air pollution, and will deprive at risk communities of funds needed to make their neighborhoods fire-ready. Furthermore, logging this area will not make California safer from wildfires.Locations:California-North America-Stanislaus County, California-United States of AmericaDate:29 May, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Mathew SumnerMaximum size:4320px X 2880pxKeywords:Clearcutting-Day-Death-Destruction-Forest fires-Forests (campaign title)-Forests (topography)-KWCI (GPI)-Men-One person-Outdoors-Sunny-TreesShoot:California’s Stanislaus National Forest Post-FirePost fire natural conifer forest regeneration in California’s Stanislaus National Forest.
