Saw on the local news this morning that there is a shortage of firewood. It seems that a wood burning electric generating facility on nearby Fort Drum is using tons of wood chips for their fuel source.

I heard that the power plant even supplies the chippers to the loggers.
Can't say I blame the logger. They are in the business to make money and if the chipping is more profitable then that is the way I would go.
Spokes person for the power company says they are not after the same wood but how do they know what the chips are made from?
I guess if one does not have his own wood lot he should consider another type of heating source.
