they might be operating, but sometimes not! they might hire local but maybenot! where are the answers, why no guarantee? and operating might be good, or it might not be good! some people say this, some people say that. But one thing is certain; the cliches will continue! Some people say that injecting additional cliches into the blogosphere only contributes to mental pollution, while others say the opposite. Local environmental groups are monitoring the situation to find out what in heck they think. But one thing is certain: the entire cliche generating process will create jobs! Except that it is subject to the criticism that sometimes it won't, when it doesn't! And there's no guarantee that the jobs will be local, because we ahve no identity cards to even tell if someone is a local. Meanwhilek, others say that identity cards are bad. They could be used to profile people as local or not, and profiling is bad! Except when there isn't enough profiling, it's good! But one thing remains certain. Questions will remain unanswered. And controversy will continue!

The irony is that the hog fuel and slash piles are likely already being burned to prevent devastating forest fires. Instead of being used to generate electricity, its basically being wasted. Biomass plants are not likely carbon neutral, but they are way better than coal, oil, or natural gas plants. If Shelton's irrational NIMBYism stops this plant from being built, then they probably deserve the high unemployment/poor economy they have.

Plants and trees eat CO2. It is not a real issue folks. Rocks falling from space is more of a proven threat than global warming...

Seattle residents might be interested to know this is not just a Shelton problem. The prevailing winds at the plant site would blow this stuff northeast, right into YOUR air. The company's ORCAA filing admits that the plant will emit a number of Hazardous and Toxic Air Pollutants, as well as 240 tons/yr of Nitrous Oxides and 149 tons/yr of Sodium Dioxide, both Regulated Air Pollutants and components of ACID RAIN. Not to mention 248 tons of Carbon Monoxide. Burning wood is no way to help the planet.

First off TimeToThink you are either a liar or an idiot.

Sodium Dioxide (one sodium and two oxygen atoms) is a compound that is at best, not long for this world if it ever exist at all as a intermediary. (Na-O-O-)
Perhaps you mean Sodium Peroxide (two sodium and two oxygen atoms
Na-O-O-Na)
Second point. Any Sodium oxide combo will be ANYTHING but acidic. Quite the opposite really. Actually it will form more of a strong base. It will not cause acid rain you ignorant jackass.

Before you go and regurgitate others work, check for two things:
a) Make sure your source is not more ignorant than you are when it comes to maters of which you speak
b) Make sure what you speak is worth mentioning.

Many people make a whole bunch of money selling fools like you on global warming and how industry is destroying out planet. Make sure the chicken little you got your “facts” from actually is credentialed in the subject of which they speak and not just selling a book…

The moron from whom you copied the above info is no scientist and certainly has no idea of chemistry….

The Al Gores of this world hurt, not help the world and the environment. That SOB is laughing all the way to the bank because fools like you think he actually knows of which he speaks….he doesn’t and has proven that many times….

Don’t be such a gigadouche
