How biomass stacks up for New England

12/03/2009- Greenfield Recorder

Biomass is already thriving in Franklin County. Wood pellets sell throughout the county even as stacks of cordwood grow higher and longer. That's all biomass. It's already popular...even though wood stoves aren't as clean and healthy as a high tech and highly monitored biomass power plant.

Compare for yourself. If you can't make it to progressive and green-as-they-come Burlington, VT., then visit the power plant at Cooley Dickenson Hospital in Northampton. Yup, hospitals use biomass. So do schools. Like Middlebury College.
