Hi Darla,

my understanding about the biomass plant, and the reasons it failed, is that
mostly no one wanted it located near them, in case it was a big polluter.

Dear Chip,

Amen about ot bringing in industry that will pollute, but there is a lot of
brain power here, so this would seem to be a good location for software
development, think tanks, etc.etc.

Without gettting too political, I hope, why was the biomass plant nixed?
