VDB, IMO your reasoning makes sense. I agree as it appeared to me LLEG searched for existing sites which have the major components or at least one of them on site. Things like boilers and turbines which from my experience are very expensive and give a prospective site immediate value by their presence.
However, is'nt there in Henniker a demand for the energy potential to be used by existing businesses in Henniker?
If I recall there is a company which designs and supplys log homes and needs to prepare the wood by using heat energy.
The last I heard of Henniker LLEG is waiting for approval of a zoning variance which allows for the hieght of LLEG facilities. Now as far as using the generated steam to provide electricty, would I be off base thinking they could be supplying energy for the logg house business in conjunction with preperations to generate electricity? It might even be a better way to go if Henniker also depends on "the loop."
If this is possible then I could see how LLEG would be interested especially with a higher level of credibility and accomplishment behind them when the Henniker board re visits the variance.
I am probably out in left field on this but to one as ignorant of this new technology and energy source as myself, it does make sence to continue to persue Henniker. If successful LLEG will have gained experience and if not then it would not be as detrimental a setback for LLEG if Henniker chooses to lose a new source of income by not allowing for a facility to be a few feet higher.
All speculation and thinking out loud on my part as well as JMO,
