The problem with idea is that you are basically burning down the entire forest to tr ground to prevent future forest fires

(Disclaimer to analogy, yes I am aware that when a forest hasn't had a fire in a while, a controlled fire will be lit to prevent a later more dangerous natural fire. That's not what I was talking about...

God, the fact that I have to qualify this quick point with that paragraph is so annoying, but I can guarantee that would be the first response here)
