PA Taxpayers Almost as Stupid as NY Taxpayers

The Press & Sun-Bulletin reports a PA business, located in nearby Montrose, PA, has received nearly half a million dollars to switch from burning oil to burning wood. Oh, and it’s being funded by a grant from the State of Pennsylvania. Which leads me to think the taxpayers in PA are about as nuts as we are here in NY!
Here’s the blurb from the P&SB:
MONTROSE, PA — Donald Dean and Sons Inc., a Montrose-area manufacturer of custom cabinet doors, was recently awarded a $452,000 grant to replace their boiler system. The grant was part of Pennsylvania’s Energy Harvest Grants program, which is designed to promote awareness and build markets for clean or renewable energy technologies.
Donald Dean and Sons now uses a biomass boiler system. It will be replaced with a wood fired boiler, using more efficient systems produced in the United States. It will eliminate the need for 180,000 gallons of heating oil, according to Gov. Edward Rendell.
Swapping out an oil burner for a wood stove for a half mil–yeah, that’s real progress.
