John, here is the only stuff I could extract from the web on the $90 mil wood pellet processing plant in Florida. Unfortunately the original PR is in Swedish. The JCB/Consafe and "Green Circle"(?) tie together and the full production will be exported to Europe. As far as I could find out a lot of waste is left from wood production in FL, which is available for free as long as it is removed. "Author: Dennis Johnson Date Posted: 25. Oktober 2006 Maybe its the largest pellet plant in the U.S. but.........Green Circle will build a $75 million wood pellet production plant in either Florida or Alabama with a capacity of 500,000 metric tons, making it the largest facility of its kind in the world. It plans on exporting its pellets to Europe via the port of Panama City, FL." Here some links. Close to your place?? Taro renewableenergyaccess.com e24.se bruks-klockner.com

Removing Cheney-Rumsfeld is a major priority supported by about 75% of Americans. Those moves will greatly influence US foreign policy, for the better.

If you are one of those people — and there are a lot of you — who think today’s election is a referendum on President Bush’s conduct of foreign policy, in Iraq in particular, you are right. But if you are also one of those people — and there are some of you — who think that Tuesday’s results will have an impact on that foreign policy, then you are probably wrong. That's why I keep saying the battle has just begun. And even more worrisome then the battle over the war, there are the cultural differences. For years, there was a lid over those cultural differences. With the rise of the Republicans, they have been brought to the surface in a very big way. I don't see them going away any time soon.

Problems already.....I've been up only two hours so it seems sooner than it might seem to you. It took 4 hours to vote. Why are these states insisting on going this route when its so fraught with problems? We still use the old fashioned machines here in WA state: More problems in Ohio by BobcatJH Tue Nov 07, 2006 at 08:11:00 AM PST At 10:15 a.m., I was the first person to vote electronically at my precinct in Cleveland Heights. Having arrived at 6:30 when the polls opened, we were immediately told by poll workers that none of the five cards voters use to vote electronically were functional. In fact, I'm fairly certain that the majority of the cards came up as dead on arrival. If you're unfamiliar with how the process works here, when voters sign in, they're handed a card that looks much like a hotel key card. Then, they go to the machine, cast their ballot and bring the card back to the poll worker, who takes it and prepares it for the next voter.
