2. New England is the only part of the US
where biomass plays a significant role in power production.

Maine produces ~20% of its electricity from wood waste.

There is at least one new Maine plant in the works and another that just announced a "significant upgrade" in its capacity.

...and 40 MW of new wood-fired capacity planned for Massachusettes.

(...and a lot of Maine households use wood for some or all of their winter heating too...)
