I just saw a study article posted on FR about a month or two ago that said that biomass, when you figure all the fossil fuel it takes to process it to a fuel of it's own, you're already behind the danged eight ball!!!

It depends upon the form. If you are processing wood waste into the grid with portable gasifiers on the site of the harvest, the trucking costs are next to nothing.

These guys were good and added every possible cost involved with not only shipping but everything else imaginable and it doesn't "pan out!"

Anyway, I've been enjoying listening to Barbara Simpson interview Henry Lamb... He took it back to the county master plan process with all the Agenda 21 injection like you discovered and made it clear how this is all implemented around the corner through community activists through the guidance of NGO's.

Anyway, it reminded me of how the elected I defeated kept hyping forest biomass to the point that I finally dubbed him "Biomess Bill!" So as you can see... Yes, my mind is pretty much sealed up on the subject!!!

Forester, do you remember that great article somebody posted on FR about the failure of several alternative energy possibilities a couple of months ago?

Gees! I guess I'll havta go search!!! (I hate when that happens)
