I agree it won't happen without a lot of work. Here's our article assessing assumptions around wood products substituting for ones with more emissions intensity and possible options.

Good article, thanks for sharing. I agree that there are far too assumptions floating around about the bioeconomy, such as "we can use more wood and it won't affect wood prices." I have recently heard Nordic sawmillers complain of tight (and hence expensive) log supplies, due in part to competing uses, such as subsidized biofuel production.
