This is the first I hear of this, but it's what I suspected from the start. We all know there have been a few that tried to kill Laidlaw Energy right from the start and they were proven wrong every step of the way. The SEC suspension is probably their way at getting revenge.

Laidaw has no control over the Berlin Project. This is a completely flase statement.

Laidlaw Berlin Biopower was sold to PJPD who were the investors in LBB it is now called Burgess Biopower.

The change in MW is due to a better choice in steam turbine, which has a higher efficiency. Same fuel input / more power out. There shouldn’t be an argument about that.

Very short meeeting, nothing done, resulted in a schedule for meetings going into mid may.

yes they do

I believe we’re finally nearing the end of this long difficult path. If five years ago someone would have told me that New Hampshire bureaucrats could or would delay this project for this long a time I wouldn’t have believed it. Now I know why the Country is in the state that it’s in. To turn this economy around for the long term we need industry. To rebuild industry we need a streamline permitting procedure that guides and facilitates new buisness development and not a process where self serving government appointees that take pride in discouraging and stalling development. At times I’ve seriously wondered why Laidlaw Berlin developers haven’t thrown up their hands and walked away. It’s quite apparent that they have the intellectual and financial strength to carry this project to completion. This is a group to believe in…go Laidlaw Berlin!

Well said

I believe the least / buy back went away when the investors that Laidlaw was to lease from decided they wanted to be the owners. I assume that Laidlaw will still see some of the profits. I hope you noted that I said “assume”.

It’s like waiting for water to boil or paint to dry, it’s best that you don’t spend your day looking through a microscope to see movement. Remember most of us now stand to make over 800% on our original investments and are (should be) patiently holding out for much more.

What this is saying is that a forest is not all veneer logs or furniture stock it's a mix of low grade and high grade wood. In some cases there is so much low grade wood in the way that it makes harvest of the higher grade wood less profitable. Now if there was a good market for low grade wood it would make the extraction of high grade wood more profitable and the same is true in reverse.

I give that two thumbs up. You know a duck when you see one.

Homeland and Fibrowatt were one and the same company. Fibrowatt was based in England while the guys from HRE were from the States.
None of them live within a 4 day drive of the site. On the other hand Waldron Engineering is from Exeter NH and their people are able to spend the time needed at the site without breaking the bank. Cousineau was good, but Carrier is bigger and located in the communities surrounding the facility. Carrier was able to give the Biomass plant a better deal. By the way, Waldron Engineering had done work at the site for the pulpmill and have a proven track record.

Your right

The Berlin Daily did not always get their facts straight and sometimes things were intentionally simplified. Yes LLEG bought the land and the boiler, but the question is who was finacing the purchase. The answer is PJPD. Like you bought the house, but the bank realy ownes it.

Would someone tell me who is building this site and for what purpose. Is it the owner?

Are you refering to Cousineau or Carrier

Is it possible to do friend of LLEG on face book?

Just spoke to the Mayor, the meeting is in Concord

Mike and Lou are still actively developing new projects for Laidlaw Energy and are still involved with the Berlin project but less so now that their investors have bought Laidlaw Berlin.

Lou and Ray were partner in developing the Berlin Project under Mike Bartoszek They were the main components of Laidlaw Energy Group. Lou Barvakis is still working with Laidlaw Energy and Ray is with the NewCo who were originally investors, but are now the owners.

Ray Kusche is still with the Berlin project working under NewCo.

All cards haven't played out yet.

Spence is on the losing side of this debate. His cronies at CPD are now gone and Concord Power will follow. He's been wrong from day one and has a personal agenda, so no matter what he says... the sky isn't falling. Hang on to your shares, better yet buy more. Laidlaw Berlin will become a reality and all of Spence's ramblings will be seen for what they really are just plan BS from an idle little man with access to the internet.

It was a project that Laidlaw was looking at in 2008.

NewCo who were main investors are now new owner of LBB project. Ownership is still in transition.

Very impressive, I need to stay tuned.

enough said

Just hang in - there is no logical reason why anyone would sell at these prices. Someone is just trying to shake up or off investors.

Laidlaw owns 62 acres and plans to use approximately 27 and the rest will be for business development.

There will be a write up on Laidlaw Berlin in Argus Media, on line and in weekly publication. http://www.argusmedia.com

Laidlaw Energy is a developer, Homeland is builder & operator and the folks at NewCo are the money guys / owners.

Early on we talked about welcoming green houses. Warm water from the power plant would heat the green houses and CO2 (from flue gas) enrichment would accelerate plant growth. By the way, boiler ash (potash) from the bag house can be used (sold) as a fertilizer. Fresh tomatoes anyone? http://www.rmi-recycles.com/wood.php

I'm new to this board (1 month), but have held LLEG for 3.5 years.
What is MM?

I think a few people are short on their long.

Agree

You've got one in every crowd

Need to keep in m ind that SEC members Amy Ignatius and Michael Harrington are on the PUC. I believe the PUC will carefully consider their recomendations.

Thanks for the SEC update. I'm a LLEG stock holder since 2006. Never sold yet and going for the long run.

Your absolutely right, all of these plants shut down for at least one week a year sometimes as much as two and every seven years do a total turbine / generator overhaul which may take longer. I've been in this business for 30 years. Trust me I know. Yearly outages for repairs and inspections are required by insurance and there is always work that has to be done that can not be done when the plant is online.
