The Florida Forestry Association sent the following article to members describing how renewable energy has difficulty making headway against those who want such, but "Not in my back yard" aka NIMBY. It is another $165 million plant that disappeared. Not long ago, a senator from Massachusetts rejected the idea of putting a wind farm close to Chappaquiddick Island.

RUSSELL, Mass. - Advocates for a proposed wood-burning electricity
plant in Russell says they're disappointed the project is dead, and blamed
stifling Massachusetts regulations
But opponents of the Russell Biomass project said the plant's inefficiency
was what did it in, not regulations aimed at ensuring that renewable energy
projects don't make climate change worse.
Last week, Russell Biomass LLC announced it could no longer move ahead with the $165 million, 50-megawatt plant, proposed in 2005. They said the state's new efficiency regulations made the plant financially unworkable.
