VLCIA biomass website

VLCIA catches up with LAKE in posting videos of 6 Dec 2010 biomass event. But where’s the VLCIA FAQ website?

Update 24 Jan 2011 7:13 PM: Bruce J. Bendl found the FAQ.

In this video, Brad Lofton tells the VLCIA board that staff have put a lot of time and effort into building a website to answer frequently asked questions about biomass, including videos from the 6 Dec 2010 event. When I congratulated Lofton on this and asked the board for an answer to one of those qeustions, I didn’t think to ask for a URL for this new website, figuring it would be announced on the main VLCIA website. If it’s there, I don’t see it. However, VLCIA has sprouted a YouTube channel in which the long-awaited professional videos from the 6 Dec 2010 event have appeared, six weeks after the event.

More on that below. Meanwhile, LAKE’s videos of the entire event have been on YouTube since a few days after the event. LAKE has also published several blog posts about the Q&A session, starting with Where’s the wood to come from and who will buy the electricity? (questions still unanswered by release of the purported wood sourcing study or announcing a purchaser for the electricity), and including VLCIA biomass event Q&A.

I would embed an example of VLCIA’s videos here, but they seem to have that feature turned off on their YouTube channel. Ah, but a little tinkering with HTML code and here it is:

Oddly, while the sound is quite good when they have it, frequently they show the panel listening but no sound for the questioner continuing the conversation. Fortunately, all the questions are in the LAKE videos.
