The burning of demo debris and the burning of household garbage shoud be legal when it is used as fuel in a modern WTE plant. Politicians are opposed because they lack knowledge of the new technologies. Currently demo debris is being burned in NH with zero emission controls...in the wood stoves and wood boilers of residential homes. And this practice will increase as heating oil prices soar.

spencer - To respond again to your repeated points:

1) "You have a NH governor that very recently signed into law, outlawing the burning of demolition debris"

Wonderful... Laidlaw has never proposed using demolition debris in Berlin... Only clean virgin biomass... So we are on the same page as the Governor...

2) "you have a Governor that is asking for a wood study that will utilize many of the same techniques utilized on two very recent comparable wood studies, you have no studies, apparently, of your own to produce"

No need to... The CP biomass fuel study which you posted for us clearly states that several key sources of available biomass fuel are excluded from the study... When they are added in as they appropriately should be it becomes clearly apparent that there is no shortage of biomass fuel in the region...

3) "you have no extension, apparently, to a deadline that according to moderator, Sage, should have been produced by now to keep the purchase agreement with North American from expiring"

Actually you and I have no idea if the extension has been signed or not... The most recent press release clearly states that HH and NAD are continuing to work with Laidlaw to complete the deal closing... And neither HH nor NAD have made any public comments to the contrary since then... So your comment is pure speculation with no factual basis (if I am incorrect then please post a link to the news release stating that the deal has been terminated)...

4) "Or the proven golden goose that heats the governor's office, owned and operated by a key player ahead of Laidlaw on the queue, might not be forgotten either"

No need for CP to be forgotten... Nor Laidlaw... There is room for both projects... As well as an urgent need for both the new job creation and new tax contributions which both projects will make to the State and the Town...

5) "if survival is the goal, you guys can muster up the achievement of surviving"

Absolutely correct... The first objective for any Company is to survive... The absence of which makes all other goals moot... Laidlaw has indeed succeeded in that endeavor through good economic times and bad... Also, the second objective for any Company is to eventually prosper... Laidlaw is on its way with multiple potential projects in the pipeline any one of which will be a huge accomplishment toward that goal...

Good night and signing out...

Tom

Patience.

Are you serious about your presentation that the state government is going to stop this project? I can't tell if that's wishful thinking, a scare tactic, or something you actually believe. I don't see how you could possibly think that in today's energy turmoil....that any state government politician would #1 want to oppose green/alternative energy (especially from a liberal state) and #2 be seen as a politician who blocked jobs from citizens who are desperate for the work.
