President Bush is touting alternative energy this week in an effort to help ease America’s dependence on foreign oil. We’ll look at what New England states are doing to promote alternative sources of fuel, including using grass pellets in Vermont and a public service project in New Hampshire that will replace a major coal-burning plant with a new cleaner and greener one. Laura's guest is Eric Kingsley, Vice-President for Research and Government Affairs at Innovative Natural Resource Solutions in Portland, Maine. Eric formerly served as Executive Director of the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association for five years. We'll also hear from Steve Walker, President, Founder and CEO of New England Wood Pellet, Martin Murray, Media Representative for PSNH and the Northern Wood Power Project, and Jock Gill, President of the Grass Energy Collaborative, an organization based in Vermont that is committed to developing grass energy as a renewable biofuel.
