Thanks for this, Dave.  Below is point no. 3 that you criticized (from =
Helga Guderley=92s petition) =97 could you elaborate a bit on why that =
point is not sound?  Thanks and Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

3. The Nova Scotia Power biomass boiler relies overwhelmingly on primary =
harvesting =96 trees clear-cut and chipped solely for power generation. =
Its =93must run=94 status is due to the need for steam at the Port =
Hawkesbury Paper mill, not because it is sustainable. Biomass energy =
derived from primary harvesting increases carbon emissions for many =
decades, unthinkable at a time when humans need to reduce their carbon =
footprint.
