You could do the same with biomass though, which can actually be a permanent technology because it in itself is both renewable and carbon neutral.

Where should all that biomass come from? Farming and transporting all that probably consumes almost as much energy as you gain out of it afterwards.

Biomass is a nice niche powersource when used at sites with some surplus waste resource, but I think using it at scale has been thoroughly shown to do more harm than good by now.
