I also agree - excellent point. I do want to point out as well that the PowerPlant in Bellingham has spilled 1100 gallons of Ethanol plus an additional 420 pounds (whatever that equals in gallons). The Power Plant in Bellingham was designed/owned/operated by the same people who are going to build in Billerica. Additionally, one of the other posts that I put here - states that "Pollution from power plants causes over 8,000 asthma attacks, 700 nonfatal heart attacks, and 340 premature deaths each year in Massachusetts - from : http://cta.policy.net/regional/ma/: EPA's own consultants estimate that fine particle pollution from power plants shortens the lives of 340 of Massachusetts' residents each year. Fine particle pollution from power plants also causes 47,065 lost work days, 342 hospitalizations and 8,069 asthma attacks every year, 223 of which are so severe they require emergency room visits.
