Hi Flyboy,
The way I read this I believe Babcox & Wilcox's installation of a “bubbling fluidized bed," http://www.babcock.com/products/boilers/bubbling_fluidized_bed.html
to the existing boiler as well as what IMO will also include other upgrades to bring the existing boiler up to present day compliance and throw in a a guarantee to ensure compliance with New Hampshire Renewable Portfolio Standards makes talk about "emissions" or "environmental" concerns a non-issue.

The B&W boiler, with a steam capacity of about 600,000 lbs per hour after biomass conversion, will be converted for Laidlaw by B&W pursuant to a fixed price contact with standard and customary completion and performance guarantees. B&W intends to install a “bubbling fluidized bed” in the boiler, which represents the current state-of-the-art in low admission, advanced biomass combustion. B&W has completed a feasibility study confirming this approach. B&W is also expected to provide and guarantee the back-end emissions controls for the boiler to ensure compliance with New Hampshire Renewable Portfolio Standards, thus ensuring the Berlin Project’s ability to sell its renewable attributes, known as “RECs”.
JMO but I don’t understand how people are trying to paint a picture of a “black smoke belching smokestack” in “black smoke” surrounded town. (On a windless day of course as LLEG would take down the entire “electrical loop” because they might have a “runaway tea kettle” in addition to Noble wind generators not utilizing any type of variable pitch props, LOL!)
IMO the only thing that makes sense as to many of the opposing posts is that they are indeed agenda driven and the agenda, IMO is absolutely NOT WHAT IS GOOD FOR BERLIN but what is good for the competition of LLEG and as far as that goes wouldn’t it be prudent on the part of people/communities entering into any agreement with Noble to clear the air of the “investigation” mentioned in the following link (which I believe GMAN posted earlier) before becoming to close?

JMO, but these two scenarios are remote at best.
JMHO,
