Logging and forest trucking contractors are in full agreement with a July 23 OpEd in this paper calling for legislative support for a bill to encourage more wood heating in our state. With markets disappearing, including SAPPI’s biomass energy generation facility in Westbrook later this year, any new outlet for wood could be a lifeline for these businesses. We urge passage of the bill to save Maine jobs, increase homegrown energy and reduce fossil consumption. ~ Dana Doran, Professional Logging Contractors of Maine
