They won't (or can't) state the level of dioxins they'll be emitting. But they DO state they're going to refuse to use 'maximum' technology to remove the toxins and small particles (most harmful) but use the 'best' technology. Of course 'best' has been defined in law to mean 'standard' (inadequate from a human health perspective) and perverting the English language in the process. This is an example of the dissembling Adage promotes when it bills itself as brining CLEAN energy to Mason County...using technology that's dirtier than coal!pinbalwyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406276130552392812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063402696450481525.post-58522050543381059422010-07-26T13:03:01.087-07:002010-07-26T13:03:01.087-07:00Even forest managers who favor Adage think this ou...Even forest managers who favor Adage think this outfit is strange in their beliefs as to the availability of biomass. If Adage - or anyone else - think they can harvest thinnings at Lebar, haul it to Shelton and make money converting it to electricity - well the people of Shelton won't have to worry long. Trouble is all these Federal and local subsidies will create incentives out of reckless ideas that no sane manager would touch if the project had to stand alone. <br /><br />However the people within the Port District - well that is another story. One need only go down to the harbor and look at some of the derelict industrial wood "great ideas" of the past that now sit as an eye sore and liability as the owners don't or can't pay the cost of demolition. Predictions should the Port be so gullible as to accept this project; Adage builds it, takes the incentive money and the cream of the depreciation - then sells to a low ball manager that goes broke. Port is then stuck with a liability on their land and no income. <br /><br />The Port managers have taken a position and refused to think through the consequences and cost to the public. They are stuck on the ideology of the idea - refusing to accept pragmatic consequences. Sadly the public - not the managers - will pay the ultimate cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063402696450481525.post-68835812762181890062010-07-16T12:35:43.476-07:002010-07-16T12:35:43.476-07:00Wow, great information.
