The Day - Montville utility hopes to bring jobs to town | News from southeastern Connecticut

The Day - Montville utility hopes to bring jobs to town | News from southeastern Connecticut:

Montville Connecticut -"Thirty to 35 full-time jobs would also be created at the plant, and 200 other jobs would be created in forestry and logistics/shipping, the company says. The new system would annually use up to 400,000 tons of clean wood, which would come from forests in a 100-mile radius.
It would also provide up to 42 megawatts and have the capability to go to 82 megawatts by using natural gas, Baylor said. A megawatt serves about 1,000 average homes."

Comment...........400.000 tons of clean wood taken from woods within a 100 miles radius....There is Nuclear Power Plant 9 miles away from Montville.......Is it me or what.

1. Do you realize what taking 400.000 tons of wood per year would do to the environment?
2. When they built that Nuclear Plant on the ocean front in Waterford Connecticut they said that it would supply power to the surrounding area.. Isn't Montville part of that area, only 9 miles away?
3. 35 jobs and a bunch of contractors. I don't know maybe its me...
