"Bay State rethinking wood power; Worse for climate than coal, study says" by Beth Daley, Globe Staff | June 11, 2010
Burning wood to generate electricity can be worse for global warming than burning coal, according to a Massachusetts-sponsored study released yesterday. That surprising conclusion immediately prompted state officials to reconsider substantial financial incentives provided to wood-burning plants.
Yes, ANYTIME the AGENDA is SHOWN for the S*** it is the great propagators of the Boston Globe are always surprised. Ever notice it is happening to them more and more these days, as if there are too many lies to be covered and concealed?

The six-month study by the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences in Plymouth comes amid controversy over the proposed construction of two large wood-burning power plants in Western Massachusetts....

The Manomet study shows that wood burning releases more heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per unit of energy than oil, coal, or natural gas....
So ONCE AGAIN you have been led down the primrose path by politicians and papers, America -- and for WHAT?
So YOU can have YOUR TAX MONEY LOOTED to fund some DESTRUCTIVE INTEREST based on a LIE?
Matt Wolfe of Madera Energy Inc., which is proposing a wood-burning power plant in Greenfield, said the study incorrectly assumes whole trees would be cut to fuel the power plants.
Incorrect assumptions, huh? Smells like a newspaper to me.
And why would you want to locate a business in a town that will hate you, Matt?
Rather, he said, most wood for his plant would come from tree tops and branches left over from logging operations or from storm damage, land clearing for new development, or tree-trimming operations....
Right; however, that would NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH FUEL to power what you are proposing, liar.
Besides, WE HAVE HEARD SO MANY PROMISES from STATE and INDUSTRY only to have been LIED TO and DECEIVED!
The Manomet Center analysis, however, concludes that there is only a small amount of such leftover wood, and that whole trees will have to be taken to fuel Massachusetts wood-burning power plants.
NOTHING WE DO NOT ALREADY KNOW!
The "curse" of an INFORMED CITIZENRY (on this issue, at least)!!!!!
The study indicates wood burning still may make sense in certain cases. For example, heating buildings with wood is more efficient than wood-burning power plants....
Translation: A WOOD STOVE or a FIREPLACE is FINE!
But I'm sure YOU will have to PAY some sort of CARBON TAX on that fire, folks.
Yeah, it is INDUSTRY and GOVERNMENT that are the ENVIRONMENTAL RAPISTS -- and here they are coming to $AVE YOU from the problem!!!!
Many, but not all, types of wood burning create a “carbon debt’’ that growing forests gradually repay by reabsorbing gases before a “carbon dividend’’ begins....
$ee how the AGENDA-PU$HING LINGO i$ already being DEPLOYED!!!!

Hey, they have done such a great job with everything they have touched so far.
But when two large wood-burning (also called biomass) plants were proposed a few years later, in Russell and the one in Greenfield, a large and vocal group of residents opposed them, asserting they would be fueled by cutting trees on public and private lands across Massachusetts....
I'm surprised the GLOBE MISSED the VOTE! They seem to devote so much print to politics. How could they miss this one?
"Greenfield voters say 'no' to effluent sale
GREENFIELD -- Thirty-five percent of the town's registered voters came out Tuesday to tell town officials they don't want Greenfield to sell its treated wastewater to a man who wants to build a 47-megawatt biomass wood-burning power plant on Butternut Street.
Yup, JUST AROUND the CORNER from me.
Three earlier Town Council votes that included selling treated wastewater to Matthew Wolfe of Madera Energy Inc., allowing the mayor to enter into a 20-year contract with Wolfe and leasing the power plant space in the town's wastewater treatment plant were each defeated by a 6-1 margin."
That's 86% AGAINST burning down our oxygen-giving trees for fuel, folks.
Darn near UNANIMOUS, isn't it?

The Globe only report votes that go their agenda-pushing way?
The study counters earlier estimates showing there is plenty of wood available for wood-burning power plants in the state, saying there would not be enough sustainably harvested wood to fuel even one large wood-burning plant....
Translation: The self-serving s***s LIED!
Jana S. Chicoine, who has led the fight against the Russell plant, said she was pleased at the findings, calling the study a “policy earthquake. We always made the case this was not a NIMBY issue but a policy failure and now we have the state saying exactly the same thing,’’ she said.
Seeing as GOVERNMENT LIES are told ALL the TIME I barely notice the shaking these days. I would be surprised if it stopped.
John Hagan, president of the Manomet Center, said the report leaves policy makers with key questions.
“Do you want to wait 10, 20, 30 years just to get to the point [wood burning] is as good as coal? That is a real social question: Do we as a society want to make the climate worse before it gets better?’’
Through POLLUTION, not the fat-misters lie.

"For loggers, a way of life teeters; Distressed industry hit hard by new rules on Mass. forests" by Sarah Schweitzer, Globe Staff | April 26, 2010
Richard Hawley Jr. is among the ranks of the state’s little-known forestry industry, a sector that has come into the spotlight with a state decision to more than quadruple the forested state land that is off-limits to commercial logging....
The decision is designed to tamp down the long-simmering controversy between logging and preservation interests, which have increasingly clashed. The new policy has been met with criticism from loggers and forestry workers, many of them located in Western Massachusetts.
Despite being the eighth most-forested state in the nation, Massachusetts is a somewhat minor player in the forest products industry.
NOT FOR LONG if the RAPI$T$ are allowed their way.
Its output of forestry products ranks 27th in the nation. The 16,800 residents employed in the industry ranks 28th among states, according to 2006 figures from the American Forest & Paper Association.
Loggers are slowly disappearing....
Better than the trees.
They can FIND SOMETHING ELSE like the rest of us are told by government and MSM!
“The human demand for wood products has not changed. People still use toilet paper. Everyone likes wood molding. If we are not cutting wood on a sustainable basis in Massachusetts, we will have to truck it in,’’ said Jim Kelly, a forestry consultant, skeptical of the new regulations....
Actually, I have been using the Boston Globe to whip my ass because it saves me money (and is helping the environment).
Actually, if the NEWSPAPER was TRULY CONCERNED about the ENVIRONMENT they would SHUT DOWN the PRESSES and CLOSE OPERATIONS RIGHT NOW!
Where do you think PAPER comes from, anyway?
Yeah, JUST ANOTHER SELF-SERVING MSM BLIND SPOT like tree-slaughtering baseball and carbon-belching NASCAR!
Loggers prefer large projects to small ones because of the expense of starting and stopping jobs; getting equipment to and from a work site can cost as much as $1,000.
That's it? They aren't making it back with what they salvage?
Then it AIN'T WORTH IT and the business will be BANKRUPT SOON!
If they can't make an outlay for $1,000....
Tom King, 61, of Hubbardston, has made his living harvesting DCR lands. But with the slowdown of logging on state lands, he and his son, who works for him, have been out of work for seven weeks. “It’s the first time we’ve been shut down,’’ said King, who has been working state lands for 25 years. “It’s basically a bunch of antilogging forestry people who want no cutting at all.’’
Yup, the Globe FINALLY DISCOVERS the UNEMPLOYED AMERICAN, huh?
He is struggling now: two pieces of machinery worth $900,000 require a $10,000-a-month bank payment.
Need I EVEN TYPE IT, readers!!!
NO WONDER they are STRUGGLING and GOING UNDER!
They DEALT with a BANK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Health insurance costs are high, as is workers’ compensation, for a job that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ranks as one of the most dangerous in the country....
Then HIRE SOME ILLEGALS!
The state is CRAWLING with them!!!!
And be SURE to MAKE that BANK PAYMENT FIRST!!!!!!!
Yeah, now you know why I NEVER READ and YOU SHOULD NEVER LISTEN to the Boston Globe editorial staff.
If THEY are FOR IT then YOU SHOULD BE AGIN' IT, America!!!!
