"Spout"?
"Stupid"?
Honi soit qui mal y pense, my friend.
The LCA that is reflected in my abbreviated description above compeletely accounts for the thermodynamics of the energy as well as the material conversions: net is the same: a little biochar is a net efficiency gain to all the soil processes involved. What is lost in a little raw wood is more than gained in retention of more complex and concentrated nutrients, for the micros and the macros. That's one reason periodic ground fires are not only survivable but necessary. Its also a reason for the phenomenal fertility of the American Midwest
Of course if one is more comfortable in regulation for the lowest common denominator, let's just stay with the status quo: a rule is always easier to enforce than to improve.
