And they are going to reopen based on a new
biomass plant to cover heating expense being
enough to turn it around? Heat is just one facet of
their operating expenses. What about transportation,
raw materials, insurances?
Sorry. I wish they'd stop teasing those people
with "biomass is the cure all".report abuse

Tee, you may be right about Nancy's book being printed on Katahdin paper. She didn't sell very many so that may be the reason they had to shut down.report abuseTee

Wouldn't it be ironic if Nancy Pelosi's book was printed on paper from this mill. After all it was her that refused to allow a session of congress in August to vote on an energy bill that could have had an immediate affect on oil prices. Opening up offshore drilling would have a positive affect for sure. The market is so fickle and just the news of this would cause oil prices to plummet. So instead of reconvening congress Limousine Liberal Nancy Pelosi went on a book tour to line her pockets. She really cares a lot.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment. Register or log in.
