handle is hein.gao/gaobabboy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: bY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL - Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES The Nation's Unused Wood Offers Vast Potential Energy And Product Benefits The Forest Service and the Department of En- ergy need to place higher priority on encour- aging the use of wood residues as an energy source and as a substitute for more energy-in- tensive materials in manufacturing. Despite their recognized potential, immense quanti- ties of wood residues--decaying logging resi- dues and dead trees, unused wood-processing residues and vast, untapped acreages of small, defective, and other lower value trees--are wasted each year. GAO's recommendations to encourage better use of wood residues do not necessarily entail any major increases in Federal expenditures. Where found cost-effective, use of wood heat- ing or power systems would actually reduce funding requirements. Other actions, such as adoption or modification of Federal forest management programs and policies, might yield benefits in excess of any additional costs.
