I hear what you’re saying for large commercial applications that pellets would be easier because you could buy them in bulk, there’s less handling, you can put them in a hopper, that sort of thing. But for homes, before we run too far down the pellet trail, I think we should still think that wood has some advantages on a residential application. I have a pellet stove in a building that I own. I have a woodstove fireplace in my house, and I have to tell you, the wood is much more accessible. It’s cheaper and the pellet stoves are forever needing to be unplugged, cleaned out, and they burn electricity. I guess just when we’re encouraging people...If we’re implementing any programs or anything, I would really like the department to keep in mind that on a single family home application I still think that wood is better than pellets. Thank you.
