I listened to the show and heard Nathan! It was a bit exciting! :)
I was happy to hear that this was supposed to be one of the cleaner burners out
there. Apparently it meets or exceeds several different clean air standards,
including Kyoto. I am still very concerned though that it is adding such a
huge amount of pollution/carbon to our air.
The discussion seemed to go round and round. It sounds to me like it would be
the safest alternative as far as burners go, but no one in the neighborhood
wants it there. The Phillips area apparently has a higher incident of asthma
and elevated lead levels as it is along with heavily polluted ground. And this
is where they are adding more pollution?
As you can see, I'm still undecided...
But, the KFAI website has the shows archived in podcasts so if you missed it
you can go back and listen to it. And next week, everyone is invited back to
continue the discussion. Jullone sounded like she may not be able to make it
back so the neighborhood may go unrepresented which would be very sad.
Here is the website for KFAI:
