I think the UCC analysis is deeply flawed on the use of biomass. I do not think, however, that anyone sees it as sustainable for us to burn biomass in power generation. As I recall with regard to gas, the study indicated that if we were burning gas, it would require carbon capture and storage, CCS, technology to be in place.
