Sadly I am not surprised, let's not forget the mp who created the RHI has considerable interests in a American timber company.

Loads have jumped on the 'let's dry chip to get paid' wagon. I looked at it when the RHI started and thought the safest way was to get a load of local boiler owners signed up to produce a sort of community fuel line.

Back then only a few had them in so wasn't worth it. Now everyone is doing it, I heard that on the south cost the demand for chip drying is 5 fold more than the need for it!
