Timberland owners (at least in my experience owning a lot of timberland) need to time market conditions quite a bit to make a profit. If someone is lucky, an offer for the land CAN coincide with good market conditions for the specific timber they have at the state they have it, but that is far from guaranteed.
All the species I happen to have a good stock of went crazy high earlier last year, then crashed hard due to burn damage to forests in other parts of the state (from over 100% increase in margin, to negative margin) in less time than it would have taken for me to get the paperwork through the state to harvest them.
Depending on market conditions, it could be very expensive to clear, to wildly profitable to clear, but no one is going to sell it to them for less than the profit they’d make in a case like that.
That looks very much like blaming the commenter you replied to for posting a "pointless" comment.
Which is not a very gracious spelling of "Sorry, my comment you replied to was stupid; I retract it and apologize", which I'm sure was what you were trying to convey.
No, he is making up imaginary impediments to wind power build-out. If trees could be a problem, they would be built in ways that trees would not be a problem, full stop.

No, he is pointing out very real impediments to wind power build-out in forsests.

As has been convincingly shown elsewhere in the subthread that they can, if one were stupid enough to build one's windmills among them.

i.e. not in forests. Which was user @lazide's point all along.
And if you were going to say -- as the remains of your argument seem to be boiling down to -- "So don't build windmills in forests then", YTF did you say that to @lazide and not to @Aachen?
In fact wind turbines are routinely erected in forests with no difficulty. But, we neither need to build them there, nor need to avoid building them there. Talking about trees as if they were a problem for wind turbines is just noise. Complaining about that fact being pointed out is more noise.
You have contributed exactly nothing of any substance to the discussion.
