too dirty
I think your right on highlighting the difficluties biomass will have in gaining any traction, especially for heating.
What sgould be their natural allies in this are the enviros, but I agree with you that there is a no cut-no burn mentality within them that will never be overcome.
Yes, it could help bring back the ADK wood processing industry (in a different format) and therby help to partially reviatlize the ADKs in geneneral, but I don't see it coming about.
A good story , well done.
Are there any delivery truck in this area like in the picture?
Although not 100% sold on wood burning (but open to hearing more), I concur with those stating solar power cells and windmills are the solution or even a big part of the solution. Both cost too much to deliver power to too few users. And I don't see that changing.
Interesting and thanks for the tip off on that coming Sustainable Saratoga speaker. I hope to see you there!
