Oh really?

IET nor anybody else in the world is gasifying creosote soaked wood as the main feed stock = full scale plant.

Enerkem has a plant in Quebec that primarily uses treated telephone poles, creosote and all. They're also opening up another facility in Edmonton.

This seems like a valid concern. Allow me to break it down into a point - counterpoint format and see if I can help dispel your concerns on the matter. As previously stated on this board;

If it sounds to good to be true.....

than it probably is.

A very well know quote, so let me try to counter it with another well know quote.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck...

Then it probably is, a duck.

Another article that sounds good but

IET nor anybody else in the world is gasifying creosote soaked wood as the main feed stock = full scale plant.

Some have tried to build but citizens aren't willing to be the Guinea Pigs of the unknown.

Let me start this counterpoint with a little back ground.

This explains wood gasification and exactly what creosote is. Now let's say, for arguments sake, that you are right and no one else in the world is gasifying creosote soaked wood. As you can see for yourself, creosote is coal, made into tar, and mixed with organic substances. The world has been gasifying organic goods, wood, and coal for some time now.

There is a rather large difference in not being educated in a specific matter, and that matter being "of the unknown". What we are talking about is the next logical step in progression. Our history if full of combining two things that we know works well, into one thing working much better. Without this progression, we would still be eating cold, uncooked meat tucked away in our cave and terrified of the noises we hear at night.
