Hi all,Lurker, here. I just finished watching a public hearing that took place on Aug. 13th at Austin, Texas City Hall concerning the possible construction of a very large wood-fuel generating plant. "Biomass" seems to be the buzzword for it. Questions immediately arise as to the effects of this type of plant on orchid habitat, and this particular one will feed off the East Texas woodlands if it is built.
Any thoughts on what this means? There is a link in the Austin City Hall website to their Channel 6 tapes of all meetings, and the DVD of that hearing is available from the Austin city archives.
