biomess boilers

In reading Dan's recent news posting on biomass, I can't help but to wonder about recent events happening in my area. My hometown is seriously debating a ban on outdoor wood boilers. Most likely they will allow them this winter , but next year who knows. A nearby town already banned them.
Also neighboring Springfield , Mass area has a proposed bio mass plant in the works, but its has received large opposition.

I kinda agree, different shades of green : (

The problem being
air quality, of course. A lot of places in Colorado I know of do not permit wood stoves, unless they have catalytic converters on them!
Getting a biomass boiler to run efficiently and cleanly in a commercial setting is difficult enough -- getting a wood-fired home boiler to do so is almost impossible.
As you say -- different shades of green -- you can get into an awful fight, if you like, by pitting the bird watching fraternity against the wind turbine fraternity, for instance! -- actually rather fun to watch, in a perverted sort of way...Br. Jamie, osb
