<DIV>We are selling wood to Europe as a fuel for biomass plants there and we are using oil and gas here. Fuel oil and natural gas are more expensive. After correcting for boiler efficiencies the wood cost around $5-6/MMBtu. Fuel oil and gas is around $10-15/MMBtu. I think we could figure this out easy....</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Funny stuff, Rex. My brother was a timber buyer for Weyerhauser for about 10 years before deciding to join the Jesuits, and he dealt with the same kind of ignorance all the time. One thing many people don't realize is that there are more trees on the planet now than there has ever been (thanks totally to the timber industry), and that all these "old growth" forests people always complain about cutting down really aren't doing anyone any good other than being aesthetically pleasing... old trees consume more oxygen than they produce! He told me recently on average, a tree will begin doing that after 15-20 years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm glad to hear the mention of wood.... I've been falling timber for twenty years or so.<BR>You wouldn't believe the range of comments I get from people. A while back, I was coming<BR>out of one of the local stores, in my work garb... next to the market is one of these "back<BR>to nature" type stores that ships worldwide. They had just expanded by about 50,000 sq. ft....<BR>One of their employees made a comment to me about wondering why I still had a job, killing<BR>our forests... I asked her if she liked working in that new building? And, did she notice the<BR>brand on the lumber used in building the space she loved so much? Then I told her that I cut<BR>the timber that made the lumber used in her building... Then I told her she was welcome, and <BR>walked off!

<DIV>Wood is considered carbon neutral. In other worlds, if you send that scrap wood to the landfill will decompose and produce CO2 also. Wood also displace fossil fuel and our dependence of foreign oils. </DIV>

<DIV>Talking about renewable energy. I am working in a project to use biomass fuel to produce steam. This project will use scrap wood to replace natural gas. I am originally from Venezuela. As you can guess, I will do everything to avoid buying oil from Hugo Chavez.</DIV>
