Nice to hear people from the Oil Drum coming to Dumfries and Galloway. The one thing we do have a lot of is forests and there are plans for a 44MW Biomass Power Station running on waste wood from the timber industry, forest residue, and short rotation coppice.

Interesting... It doesn't look like a CHP plant. => 60% energy wasted. I guess the oil and gas supplies are simply not going to peak in the UK. Just a vicious rumour.

I agree that not doing CHP was a missed opportunity.
We urgently need the government to get away from their current peak oil denial although the current price decreases will keep it off the public's minds for a while.

In my now distant youth I surveyed the lines for some of the roads through those forests, and the roads have since been used for harvesting.
