What a concept, burning stuff to make power.
I actually like the idea. There’s lots of small branches and deadfall that needs to be disposed of.

Everyone who is concerned about plant food (C02) should stop exhaling. We would die without plants, which live on CO2, and produce oxygen.

run the energy balance. Spend energy to toast the wood in order to make energy? Probably a net loss when you add it all up (including the energy used to grow and extract the wood from the forests which are highly over regulated as it is)
Typical greener logic.

“Artisinal” is just code for “we can say this and charge these pretentious assholes more money for nothing added”....:0)

a daylong test burn, feeding 8,000 tons
Insane!! This idea died years ago after it was discovered the manpower and fuel cost to gather, collect, and transport the biomass to the power plant made it way to expensive. It does work on a much smaller scale.
Maybe they are planning on burning hemp?????

I wondered about that but figured they had figured out a way to maximize yield.

There is a lot of Aspen/Popular that grows near there. Collins was operating a sawmill producing that species. It grows very fast.

Austin Energy spent $2 billion dollars for a brand new 120 MW pulp burner in East Texas.
It is too expensive per MWH to generate, so it just kind of sets there.
