I have a diesel powered pellet maker and can make all the pellets I need in one Summer to heat my home in the Winter for several years. Of course when we first started using our pellet stove the pellet prices where we live were quite expensive and it was cheaper to use Natural Gas. I get all the saw dust I could ever need for free from one of our local cabinet shops, no grinding needed. I just make sure the moisture content is at 12% and I can make around 400 lbs of pellets an hour.

However, I don't completely disagree with you, because that's not to say there aren't problems associated with automation. De-skilling, less opportunity for labor organising, inequality and its many consequences, a falling rate of profit, systemic risk, over-centralisation, a lack of resilience and adaptability, damage to the environment and other externalities, state capture, and a catastrophically high cost of fixed capital during the inevitable economic crises that happen every few years, are all indirect consequences of automation. Automation should result in fewer hours worked and abundance for all. If it doesn't, then it is interesting to consider how the system of laws, property rights, and concentrations of power prevent that. (And there are many schools of thought on that subject!)

i had to work at a wood pellet mill before and oh man did it not look as clean as this. the place was basically two "hangar tents" with all the machinery operating inside it, no insulation to keep us warm so we had to work with heavy coats. We had an operator and two baggers that basically bagged and stacked the finished pellets. sawdust piling up in the corners, machinery held together by duct tape and hope, on a freezing wet day you had to go pound on the side of the bin that feeds the wood chips into the grinder with a sledgehammer to knock the material lose, i had to put out a small fire in the corner by the "office" once, eventually started getting shorted on hours because of critical machine malfunctions eventually had to quit and move out cause there was literally NOTHING close enough to work at. Awful, horrible job that also damaged my body having to work at. but apparently the company decided to keep it running as is instead of upgrading the equipment or shutting it down for a while despite having other facilities that were run to a much higher standard and much less dangerously and this one not having as good of an output. And because it was operating in a dead end small mountain town they could get away with letting sawdust float over the town when we inevitably got a strong wind blowing through the valley.

I find it interesting that in America there are very few compressed wood options. Wood pellets are an emerging industry in America. America has 6mm pellets, the industrial/rare 8mm pellets, and the even more rare 10mm pellets, and America also has bio-bricks. Other places have more options for compressed wood. I saw a wood compressor that made 20mm cubes of pressed wood. I want to get my hands on a bag or two of those cubes because they look interesting. I also am a bit upset that there are few pellets that use a bit of oil in the mix. Oil in wood pellets can act as a sealing agent against water, and increase the energy density ... BUT it is an extra expense so many don't bother.
