In the USA, about 90% of the original (1600AD) forests have already been cut down.

At some point, the people of the USA will need to stop logging their old forests. They can stop now. Or not. Perhaps you would suggest waiting until 95% of the original forests are hewn, then stop? Maybe wait until 98% of the forests have been cut down?

Whatever. The point is that the clearing of old forests has nearly run it's course, simply due to depletion. Industry in the USA will soon need to switch to using plantation timber or imports because they will soon have no forest timber left.

IMO, this is a pretty obvious point. When a resource is 90% depleted, it's time to stop relying on that resource.

"Tree Huggers" are not crippling the US wood industry. Canadian timber merchants are not crippling the US wood industry. Depletion is crippling the US wood industry. It just feels better when you find someone else to blame.
