RE: “Much worse than your woodstove” [Voices, April 10]:
So, you want Vermonters to voice their opinion about biomass?
You've got all the forestry stuff incorrect. To keep it short: There will be more firewood available, not less, as a result of the proposed North Springfield Sustainable Energy Project (NSSEP) plant.
Loggers get more (approximately $35-$40 for firewood logs) for firewood than chips (approximately $30 per ton, delivered), without the chipping cost. So they sort out the firewood logs.
