The world dedicates a Poland-sized area of land to liquid biofuels. Is there a more efficient way to generate energy?

Unmistakable rise in forest fires, getting bigger, longer, more destructive: 4 of the 5 worst years on record occurred since 2020.
Boreal & temperate conifer forests now particularly vulnerable.
Forests should be carbon sinks but in 2023 & 2024 they only absorbed ¼ of the CO2 they typically do.
