As a recent Economist report suggests, energy plantations (and wood as a renewable energy resource) have been extensively used by many European power companies as a green add-on option with the assumption that their net carbon impact is lower that pure fossil-fuel. But questions are raised on the long-term implications of such an approach to renewable.
The moot point is why Life Cycle Environmental Costing (Impact) o the TCA approach which has been well-researched and applied by green-economists, is not used by policy makers and governments and businesses to decide on the most-appropriate solutions for energy planning?
Where is the catch? Why is green accounting not becoming a standard accounting procedure world over?
Any views?
