Beetle Wood Put to Use.

Pine beetle wood will soon be used to generate heat and electricity for several buildings in Prince George.

The federal, provincial and municipal governments have announced plans for the community biomass energy system.

Work begins on the biomass burner this spring and it's expected to be in operation by 2009.

The annual cost is estimated at 305-thousand dollars but the program will generate gross revenues of about 685-thousand dollars a year.

About Me

My photo
I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
