CHANGE IN OPERATIONS AT BIO ENERGY IS CHANGE OF USE

From 1983-2001 permitted to generate electricity from clean wood chips by variance Bio Energy was the first wood-burning plant to go on line, at perhaps the most favorable terms. Its rates actually escalated until 2015. (NH Business Review—March 22, 2002)
In 2001, the PUC approved a buyout of Bio Energy’s contract.
Owners of Bio Energy received “anywhere from $80 to $100 million.” (NH Business Review—March 22, 2002)
“We have no one to supply energy to anymore with fixed rates. The rates are so low, they don’t even cover our costs.” (Harry Smith quoted in NH Business Review—March 22, 2002)
Now they intend to burn C/D chips containing lead and mercury because it gets paid to take the toxic materials. PETROFIBER Henniker, New Hampshire will truck over 30 open air truck loads per day!
