There is talk of a Biomass Energy plant going into the town next to mine, about 5 miles from my house. The plan is for the plant to generate 34 megawatts of power and around 110,000 tons of pellets a year.
My question: How does 110k tons of pellets compare to other pellet makers? Is it more, less about the same? I also have no basis as to how much power 34MW is, but was more curious about the pellets. Supposedly if this plant goes through, construction will start and be done in about 2 yrs from start. It will also lower property taxes in the area by around $600/yr (on $160k house). There is alot of good that can come from this, not all monetary either-which is why its hard to believe that it will happen, LOL!
