Uttarakhand Government to generate electricity by pine leaves, but how and where?

Pinus roxburghii is a species of pine. It is an evergreen coniferous tree that has clusters of long needle-shaped leaves. Many kinds are grown for their soft timber, which is widely used for furniture and pulp, or for tar and turpentine. It is native to the Himalayas, and was named after William Roxburgh. This huge pine forest stretches for 3000 km across the lower elevations of the great Himalaya range for almost its entire length including parts of Pakistan's Punjab Province in the west through Pak Occupied Kashmir, the northern Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Sikkim, Nepal and Bhutan, which is the eastern extent of the pine forest. Cheed pinus is considered to be hostile for other species as it does not allow other smaller trees to grow under its canopy and is not suitable for shelter to wild life. Wild animals needs sufficient grass or vegetation to graze and thick forest to hide from predators or human beings. Dry leaves of cheed trees are highly inflammable and are prone to fire. Forest fire in the cheed forest is disastrous for all living being including fauna and flora. Jay Singh Rawat as a journalist and author was participating in this debate where Chief Conservator of forest Mr. Rajat Kumar Mishra was also present as an expert. Jay Singh Rawat   advocated replacement of Pinus roxburghii  by broad leaves trees in Uttarakhand Himalayas. According to Rawat government proposal to generate electricity by pine leaves is not practical.
