Your statement is right but you are wrong.

The reason is that they would take their carbon from the atmosphere,
and not from carbon stored underground. They would therefore be
neutral as far as atmospheric carbon is concerned.

Ahh. I was dumb. I have been similarly dumb in a number of other
posts I wrote on this aspect of the thread. I withdraw. Burning
biomass is not as bad as burning oil and gas.
