      I learned recently coal is not renewable at all. We will never get more coal. Coal exists from a period of time when trees had cellulose but bacteria had no means of breaking down cellulose.

        So we need to stick entire forests into a microwave, and then ship the sterile wood to mars, and bury it for a few billion years?

          Wouldn’t work. You wouldn’t be able to so. Pletely sterilise the wood. There will always be bacteria on it and even inside it.
