We are just trying to tease this out. It is ridiculous to think that a facility could bring the woodchips up the road and use it in a different plant but that if it burned them in its own plant to generate electricity, its case would fail. It would be much more efficient to burn the woodchips on the facility's own premises than to haul it 10 miles or 20 miles away. That would make no sense, but it is what the witnesses are saying.
