Thunder Bay Challenges Province on BioMass Conversion Project

Just call it a bio-mess ...The political battle continues between Thunder Bay and the province's energy minister over the amount of biomass that will be needed to fuel the Thunder Bay Generating Station.

Thunder Bay Mayor Keith Hobbs says both sides remain far apart on how much advanced biomass will be needed once the station is converted

Hobbs says if there is no change in the government's position the city will make the problem an election issue.

The province is in the process of converting the coal plant to biomass.

The Northwest Energy Coalition is renewing demands that the plant be converted to natural gas
by 2016.
