A picture from 45 feet in the air captures the scale of IVEK’s 224 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) field in Springfield, VT. The two-acre array is located on a gravel field that is part of their property and offsets about 90 percent of their annual electrical consumption. IVEK’s solar array is currently the largest privately owned system in Vermont. The system was installed by Prudent Living, and is an excellent example of a system that “trades” power with the power company, since the system itself is not directly connected to the company’s buildings. The fact is that anyone with south-facing property and access to their local power grid can build a PV field that offsets the cost of their own home or business electricity.
It will be tragic if a disgusting, spewing biomass plant goes in right next to this display of ACTUAL green, sustainable energy production.

if biomass is so "disgusting" where were you when they decided to put biomass into our schools?
Biomass is GREAT!!!! And if you don't believe us we will yell a little louder!!!!
DeleteBiomass for heat is far more efficient than biomass for producing electricty--really can't even be compared--someone needs to do their homework.
DeleteCan you cite your homework so i can read it for myself?
DeleteGosh, it doesn't look much different than from 6 feet above it. I wonder what it will look like from the top of the Biomass stack? Probably a whole lot better, if you know what I mean!
