in their community? If so - how is it going?
We have one that burns "wood waste" from the forest to generate electricity for sale. Of course the concept of wood waste is debatable as it supplies nutrients for the trees. I expect logging of "undesirable trees" in the future when the easier access wood is depleted. But it's a done deal now.
