This plant in Minnesota is produce massive amount of particulate matter that has been proven to cause and worsen asthma, chronic bronchitis, lung disease and heart disease. the plant produce dioxins and other highly toxic chemicals. Go to energyjusticenetwork/fibrowatt and read all about it. The Minnesota plant is under Open Enforcement Action for permit violations. How can you possibly promote this a green or clean? Burning biomass releases half again as much green house gas as burning coal and twice as much as natural gas. This is not carbon free. This is all about zombie corporations getting tax incentives masquerading as green industry when they are anything but green or clean. Every dollar spent of burning biomass and especially poultry litter is a dollar that could be spent on solar, wind, geothermal, ocean or other forms of energy research.
