Mr. David Flynn:

-----these are large, complex activities which need to be managed. There is a licensing process that needs to be followed and there are conditions attached to those licences. There is potential for negative environmental impact from anaerobic digestion. There are both benefits and risks that need to be managed. As regards the EPA licensing process, as I said earlier, if we are going to have 140 new fairly significant plants in the country, we need to make sure there is capacity within the planning and environmental permitting system to allow that to happen.

Whether or not a particular plant goes ahead, the EPA does not have a view against anaerobic digestion. In fact, as I said before, we have licensed several plants and we are in the process of doing that.
