kind of funny given what a stink everyone made about forgiving student loans being an upper middle class subsidy that the climate provisions are very explicitly a subsidy on upper middle class homeowners.

can that even happen on any significant scale now that stuff's better at breaking down wood
not really, no. maybe if we intentionally bury it?
We'd need to dump them into the ocean or something where they'd petrify. That would cause all sorts of untold knock on effects on the deep sea ecosystem though.
We also have that little issue with algae blooms disappearing and the main oxygen engines of the planet failing.
You can pyrolyse the wood into charcoal, which is porous and mostly biochemically stable, so if you put that in the soil it will increase (ionic) nutrient adsorption and water retention, assist lots of organisms, and remain in the soil as elemental carbon for centuries if not millennia.
Charcoal burns at a hotter temperature than wood. So, you can have a Combined Heat and Power stove/engine, or a combined heat/char, or a combined power/char. As long as you're planting more trees than you use for fuel, and putting some char into the soil, you're doing a net sequestration of carbon. It's not fast or flashy, but it does work very reliably.
