Biomass boilers arrive at MPEC!
MPEC is one step closer to heating the Horseshoe Lodge not by burning a fossil fuel, but by burning biomass, in the form of wood collected through forest-thinning fire mitigation efforts in Pueblo Mountain Park. Ponderosa pine forests were significantly less dense in pre-settlement days, kept that way through frequent low-intensity fires, usually started by lightning. Decades of fire suppression have resulted in unnaturally dense conditions more prone to catastrophic wildfire. Carefully thinning the park's forests will result in a healthier ponderosa pine forest ecosystem, less chance of a destructive wildfire, and fuel to heat the Horseshoe Lodge. Here are photos of the delivery of our 2 GARN 2000 boilers. We hope to have these in operation soon. Many thanks to the Governor's Energy Office, the SEP grant program, the Stepp Foundation, the Frank Lamb Foundation, and all the individual donors for supporting this worthy "green" project. Keep visiting MPEC's blog for more updates on this and other MPEC projects and programs.

So why not just call it "wood" instead of biomass.
Is is necessary to say biomass in order to be appropriately high-tech?
(I realize that the term biomass was employed as long ago as the 1970s.)
^ Chas, you have to admit biomass does sound better :P
I think biomass boilers are great though. I'm thinking of getting one myself from this site.
I have an iPod touch and I'm not receiving any notifications with all the notification settings set to ON. Is the Push service only for iPhone?
