We heed the dire warning of the American Lung Association concerning biomass and air pollution in general, "Burning biomass could lead to significant increases in emissions of nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide and have severe impacts on the health of children, older adults, and people with lung diseases." Concerned citizens are for clean and safe local energy production, and we are against the burning of waste water, waste water sludge, poultry litter, miscanthus grass, waste coal combined with 25% biomass, lower grade coal combined with biomass, or whatever other biomass/coal source the board decides upon.
No amount of financial profit for the city or utility savings is worth putting the health and quality of life of our children and community at dire risk.

Just shut the old plant down and move on.Nobody wants to breath that stuff in. do the right thing jasper.
Ridiculous idea. why would anyone want toxic air in their own backyard? shut it down for good.

Total nonsense. find a better way to make energy that doesnt involve burning sludge next to our homes. seriously.
