We are considering this where I work (a competing mill in NY).
This is delicious because Hildebeast is up for re-election in 2006. Will sell her soul to upstate NY big business for a crushing victory over whoever the lame NYS repub party runs against her.
This, of course, at the risk of alienating the tree huggers.
This should be fun!
It seems to me that the State of New York's version of the EPA would require all emissions limits to be met at the edge of the property. I assume the edge of the burner's property is fully within the State of New York. I think you're right. The Beast is trying to win points with the electorate. Regulatorily, she probably has no real say in what the State Regulators do. Using waste tires as an alternative fuel source is very smart, as long as the scrubbers work really well.
