TLouden writes "The Rocky Mountain News had an article today about Community Power Corp. and its new BioMax unit which uses renewable resources such as corncobs, sawdust pellets, and coconut shells to produce electricity. This gasifier unit isn't commercially available yet but we might be seeing it sometime in 2004."

    Yea conventional nuclear power is good and well understood. Too bad the anti nuclear propaganda that isn't based on science or reality but chicken little crap will never all the US to be energy self sufficent.
    But that is exactly what enviromental exremeists don't want a energy self sufficent US. If it wasn't they would not poohpooh very promising idea or sue any attempt at any new power generating implementation into oblivion. Enviromentalists don't want you energy self sufficent. I wouldn't call anything that consumes 60 lbs of wood chips per day enviromentally friendly btw. The by-products of combustion are going to foul the air.
