Cyclone, I think George's plea to Laidlaw to offer up a vision of the town with trees and other mitigating landscape changes makes all the sense in the world. Let's give Berliners a vision of the town, financially revitalizes by the biomass plant and aesthetically improved by a riverwalk and lots of trees and other niceties. Tom has apparently passed these suggestions of George's along to management. If management acts on this, creates some mock-ups of the town with a beautified and landscaped power plant, presents these new images to the townsfolk at a town meeting or something, wins a majority of the townsfolk over, then George will have helped us out in a big way. By alienating a townsman who could become a bridge between us and the town, you could be shooting yourself in the foot. That's fine, but please don't shoot my foot in the process!
