Hi, Croc.
"A lot of the old growth trees - Redwoods and others - can easily live 2 or 3 hundred more years (or more) even if they are hollow inside. You can see that happening down in the Redwoods where there are quite a number of still very alive trees that you can walk inside of through an opening at the base"
In some, you can see the sky.

"I don't think most people realize just how many wood-fueled electrical power generating plants there are in the world."

California’s biomass power plants combust wood residues and byproducts to produce electricity — material whose disposal using conventional means creates adverse environmental impacts. Biomass fuel comes from three distinct sources:
- Agricultural agricultural byproducts like orchard removals and prunings, rice hulls, fruit pits, etc.
- Forest residues and byproducts like saw mill residues, commercial harvesting operations, and small trees and undergrowth cleared from forests for fire suppression, watershed cleanup, and growth enhancement
- urban wood like construction wood scraps, discarded pallets, clean wood waste from factories, and residues from tree trimmers and land clearers
