Wood, specifically, is not likely renewable at a sufficient rate. i.e. it is impossible to grow enough wood to meet any significant energy requirements. While it is technically renewable, if we treat it as such, we will deplete resources faster than we can replace them.
This is a silly argument I am making, and requires a narrow definition ignoring other bio-fuels which, while unproven at scale, would potentially remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
I use this with moderate success. I think my limited success is the nature of the creek constantly cycling out water.

It is important to note this is not a poison. It is a naturally occurring bacteria that is harmless to the food chain (Bacillus thuringiensis). That is important to me and, I think, a lot of others.
