I am well aware of the "biomass surplus" they say is in this state, but that is NOT the case in this area of Florida. Buckeye (which is the GP cellulose pulp mill, biomass power plant, and chemical plant) uses ALL the pine in a five county area. We have no farms, animal or plant, in the area because the ground and water have been polluted by Buckeye. We don't have seafood plants because even the Gulf is polluted from Buckeye. Even the many chicken farms in an adjoining county have closed down. The only land clearing around here is on the land Buckeye controls. Buckeye even burns their own black liquor. We only have one railway here, and it dead ends at Buckeye although it does have connecting lines to the west coast. We are not in northwest Florida, we are in north central Florida. In northwest Florida there is another GP mill on the St Johns River, although I'm not sure if it controls the area like the one here does. My husband drives a log truck for a living, and the further the distance he has to drive to deliver, the higher the cost of the wood. The company Bionitrogen has (or had) an agreement with to deliver biomass is in central Florida...over 100 miles away. If Bionitrogen is looking for cheap biomass, this is not the area they should be looking at.
