Has your state mandated that “x” amount of their power needs to come from carbon neutral sources?

If so, has your plant considered adding torrified wood pellets their fuel mix.

No. But a state that the Coop I work for has a green energy mandate - something like 25% of the energy mix must be renewable by 2025. A lot of wind farms have been built to meet that mandate. Wind is expensive and requires 100% backup, that is why it drove up the price of electricity.

The fuel pellets will drive up the cost of electricity the exact same way. Raising the price of energy that way will and is killing the economy.
