Rich,
You have drastically underestimated the ability of the ability of a company with ambition, financing, and a competent management team (including a former NH congressman) to get the job done with support from NH's largest utility provider (PSNH), the county commissioners office, the governor's of the state of NH, the NH senator (from the town in which the project will be built in!) John T. Gallus, and the fact that the biopower plant is in step with the agenda of the chief executive of the federal government.
It has become blindingly obvious that the opposition of this project (all... 5? of you) is lashing out at anything possible in hopes to disrupt it. I assure you, Rich, that the Berlin Biopower plant WILL receive an SEC permit, along with all needed environmental permits. I also assure you that Berlin will NOT enter a state of depression worse than it is currently seeing. I, for one, am excited to see Berlin re-energized and ready to emerge from this extreme depressed stage. I hope you are too.
We can continue this discussion for as long as you like. The wood is there, the local/state/federal support is there, the transmission line capacity is there and once Laidlaw is ready to interconnect, there is not a chance in hell that the state would not allow it because some other project that is in its infantile stage is in the way.
Enjoy!
Cheers mate,
Matthew
