any paints to 12?
Strange tick to 11, not listed at bid or ask
Once 12 is broken, I am certain the levels are quite thin. The resistance prices are just MM's remembering old prices and adhering to them.
Agreed. This is forward progress in promoting Laidlaw and its common stock to better levels, which will only serve MB and company better.
I do believe these steps are the start of something great for the shareholders, however.
Matthew
Looking very much forward to hearing about MB's new projects on the horizon. Much more for me to research into!
GLTA!
Matthew
LLEG .0011 / .0012 UP 50%
These 12's will break fast. Another 2-3M at the ask.
Matthew
Hold on tight to what you have...
These 10's will be gone soon.
LLEG .001x.0009 up 25%
trip zeros gone
9's getting hit.
Good morning all. Hope everyone sees some green today!
Agreed. There are forces much larger than you and I that will be affecting the PPS of this stock. Potential, potential, potential. People are noticing. Laidlaw won't stay hidden for long.
Matthew
Few good observations about the chart:
Sharp bump in accumulation today. Means these "sells" at 7 were actually buys coming in at the bid.
MACD moving sharply up again.
Chaikin Money Flow about to cross the axis. This hasn't happened in a long time but tomorrow could be a VERY nice day.
Note: I'm not an expert at this but I know some things to look for...
Matthew
These prices are an absolute bargain. Enjoy them while you can.
Have a nice night all
Matthew
My trade screen is showing over 21M sells and only 1M buys? It is my understanding that this is not dilution but just some profit taking.
Anyone else?

Tom - Could you PM me your email address? I'd like to ask you about a few things.
Matthew
I've heard rumors that the permit will be submitting before 60 days is up.
I will try to get concrete source to confirm.
Hope this helps
Matthew
Great things loom on Laidlaw's horizon...
-Competent, ambitious, connected board members
-Berlin permitting underway
-Future projects to be announced
Things are certainly taking a nice shape for Laidlaw Energy.
Matthew
Not to mention that NH bans the burning of construction debris and thus, must be sent to landfill. This is costly to construction and benefits are apparent to both construction companies AND companies that could produce POWER with the debris.

The politics of 'dirty' wood:
As featured in Biomass Magazine
http://www.biomassmagazine.com/article.jsp?article_id=2539&q=&page=1
Mentions the Laidlaw court case in Ellicottville.
Matthew
"Prior to its closure, the mill processed approximately 1 million tons of biomass per year. The newly reconfigured plant will use over 650,000 tons of biomass per year, creating and sustaining approximately 500 local jobs for truckers and forest products workers who will supply wood chips, as well as local businesses that will provide goods and services."
1 Million tons > 650,000 tons
NOT ENOUGH WOOD, THEY SAY!!
Haha. Have a great day tomorrow, everyone. I will not be online until the evening.

Not sure how that one slipped by. Enjoy!

4.2. Biomass power in Maine
The real growth of biomass power in Maine was the result of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) legislation in the United States in 1979. The PURPA encouraged electricity production by small non-utility producers using co-generation techniques or renewable fuels. The law created a window of opportunity for alternative energy forms in the country. Previously, the dominating utilities had routinely expanded their capacity of conventional energy sources as energy demand increased. This change was possible in part because the PURPA legislation was implemented at a time when bioenergy was competitive due to rising oil prices. Furthermore, most experts expected oil prices to continue to increase.
The biomass power share in Maine increased in the late 1980 s and early 1990 s and in 1992 it represented 25% of the total electricity supply in the state. Independent power producers accounted for 43% of the contracted capacity, large co-generation units in forest industry accounted for 56% of the capacity and a small fraction belonged to small co-generation power producers [29]. The fuel is wood waste from forest industries or residues from logging operations. Because of the forest industry activity in the state, which had already invested in forest roads, equipment and knowledge, both feedstock supply and transport could be arranged in a cost efficient way.
As oil prices decreased in the late 1980 s and power production from natural gas became more competitive, the long term biomass power contracts became very expensive for the utilities. The utilities subsequently tried to buy out the contracts with the independent power producers. The issue finally reached the political arena and State of Maine authorities intervened to find a solution that would allow the biomass power plants to continue while keeping electricity rates low. Nonetheless, the future of biomass power in Maine is still insecure as the current restructuring of the power market will increase competition considerably. As the present contracts between the independent power producers and the utilities run out in the first two decades of the previous termnewnext term century, biomass power production in Maine will most likely decrease drastically unless previous termnewnext term policies to support the industry are implemented, Table 3.
Although this survey is about Biomass in Maine, Northern New Hampshire is in a very similar position.

Available wood biomass from forest residue and mill residue... This is only a fraction of what biomass residue is available in the Belin area, as well as the Country.
The efficiency of a 65MW co generation (thermal and electrical energy) plant is 60-80%! Remember, the higher the efficiency of a plant (Energy in / Energy out), the lower emissions a plant will produce.

PSNH Schiller Station details:
This was posted by Schiller station (PSNH's Newington Biomass power plant). I would only expect the Laidlaw plant be very similar:

Good reading if you want to understand the different pieces that make up Biomass power plants.
White Mountain coffee used to be Bean St., which moved to Gorham from Berlin because of the umm... "Berlin Clientele". Mostly goth kids using the cafe but not buying anything.
Message received from Jon Edwards (Spencer):
"lol, revert to ignore at any time Mathew. I find it virtually impossible to take you seriously. GLTU."
Likewise, Jon. Likewise.
Anyone else out there failing to take me seriously?
Cheers,
Matthew
I just find it pointless to post regarding any company OTHER than the one this message board was designed for. CP does not affect the Laidlaw Berlin Biomass plant.
Agreed. I'm certain that EXACT same post was in the paper a little less than a year ago. Dated info. Repetitive. Irrelevant.
Laidlaw has financing, an EAGER buyer for 20 years, infrastructure, other projects in the works that could start before our Berlin plant comes online to assist with other financing needs.
We're set.
Matthew
Agreed. Clean Power does not affect us in any way and therefore should be discussed on a "Clean Power" message board and not a "Laidlaw Energy Co." message board.
Please feel free and encouraged to post regarding transmission lines, permitting, anything relating to any one of Laidlaw's projects.
Thank you in advance.
Matthew
Sorry Rich, please stay on topic. Clean Power does not affect us as they have shown they do not have financing nor a buyer for the power they produce.
Cheers
I've read this exact article somewhere. Is this a repost?
Never mind, deleting for irrelevancy to this message board titled: "Laidlaw Energy Co."
Matthew
Community St. Berlin, NH
Not really sure what that is. A copy of the agreement is posted here:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3261/3267043002_6eb90a6f02_o.jpg
The posters on byte&chew, mostly residents of Berlin, posted an audio where it was said that PSNH will not even talk to CPD (a company wishing to also build a Biomass plant in Berlin) about buying their power.
Any analysis on why they might be doing this? It would seem to me that PSNH would want all the renewable power credits they can get.
Either way, PSNH is a HUGE force pushing for the Laidlaw project. They have deep pockets and great connections throughout the state.
Matthew
Well said, Tom.
Glad to hear from you.
Have only gained respect from this company in the past few months. The bashers certainly have become desperate, and this tone is portrayed in their recent postings.
I wonder how many of them have investments in the company and are embarrassed to admit it.
