For one thing, you can’t really power a moving vehicle without a pretty energy-dense fuel. It’s hard to imagine an industrial revolution without the ability to move huge amounts of freight.
If you were just using the wood to generate electricity, there would be some probably pretty low maximum generation rate that could be sustained without quickly depleting all wood resources.
It’s interesting to me that our culture has vilified fossil fuels to the extent that many people don’t want to admit that our modern society depends on them.
