Thank you for your article. Someone forwarded it on to me. I am also a concerned resident; I would like to retain Rock Tenn and their jobs, but do not want garbage burned in the midst of our neighborhoods. Some of my neighbors are elderly, some have small children and some have health concerns like asthma. I also grow an organic vegetable garden in my backyard and plan to collect rainwater for it. My interests are for the public health. Erin Murphy, my legislator, is also aware of this issue. Biomass was defined in 2005-6 legislatively as including RDF, and we believe that is misleading, since the public would assume "bio"mass was something that at one time had been a living thing. I would be less opposed to actual "bio"mass being burned, but that still generates carbon and emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The site has great solar opportunities, wind possiblities, and they already tap into the groundwater which could offer geothermal opportunites. There are solutions beyond RDF, and they would enhance and make a more livable community for Saint Paul. Such a "green" power plant could also be used to generate energy for the Central Corridor LRT, but it would be objectionable if it were RDF burned to fuel the line. Thanks again for your article and interest.
