There's a lot to like about biomass for energy production.
Something to consider, though, is the amount of growing field that will be required to feed the plant (think about: square miles), and what that field will look like. I'd want some specifics about this before construction of the plant starts.
It can be managed nicely, in reasonable harmony with nature, but more often business tends toward a clear-cut rotation job to minimize the amount of land needed, and it can end up completely raping the land where the biomass is grown.
