Santa Fe's Energy Solution: A Biomass Future

Here's the first five minutes of a documentary video on Local Energy's 3-year study showiong how to heat all of downtown Santa Fe with biomass from local sources such as forest thinnings and commercial waste. The $1.8 million study included a fully optimized  engineering design, investment-grade cost analysis, emissions estimate, and an economic analysis showing nearly $9 billion in benefits to the local community over the project's 50-year lifetime. The full report from Local Energy is available from their home page, and you can read about all of Local Energy's programs by clicking here.
