July 19, 2012, Port Hawkesbury, NS - The sale of a mill in Nova Scotia hinges on the running of a biomass generator, despite the fact that doing so could cost taxpayers more than they will gain from having the mill reopen.

That burner remains a crucial part of Pacific West Commercial Corporation's plans to reopen the mill, because it provides cheap steam to power the paper-making process.
