As I have said many times, THERE IS NO BIOMASS AVAILABLE HERE. We don't have many farms here. What few there are are family farms and not very large. Over half the property in Taylor County is owned by a timber company, and ALL the trees go to Buckeye. They burn whatever waste there is to power the mill. I live less than 1/4 mile from that mill, and my health has declined rapidly since moving here. Biomass burning is dangerous to your health, not just to the environment. We have very little natural woods left...it's all pine tree plantations now. The fact Buckeye gets all the wood is why Bionitrogen had to make an agreement with a biomass supplier that is 100 miles from here. Shipping the biomass that distance will greatly increase the cost of that biomass. Shipping is not cheap, even when it's trees you're shipping.
