Missouri timber producers and farmers, stung by the downturn in the housing industry, thought they could see light at the end of the tunnel with new advances in technology, and an emphasis in renewable energy.
Now it turns out that light might be a train.
In its most recent ruling on green house gasses, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reclassified wood used in energy generation, or woody biomass as it is referred to, the same as it classifies coal. According to the Rule, EPA will count biomass carbon dioxide emissions the same as fossil fuel emissions in permitting programs under the Clean Air Act.

Jarvis said if the EPA rules go into effect, saw mills would be forced to change their fuel for the kilns, generally converting to natural gas or electric. He said the conversion would be too costly for many operators and cause them to go out of business.
You vote against something the Chicago-machine ants, you get your asses hurt in other ways... and PBHO and his cronies dont' give a damn otherwise.
Convince me that this isn't having to do with Prop C ... prove it.
