Protests against Biomass plant in Wales - "Biomess"

Walesonline.com reports that protesters were demonstrating against a biomass power plant that opened earlier this year (which only uses local forest residues), as well as against a plant that is going through the planning processes (which will use imported chips). The protesters were apparently attempting to highlight the fallacy of importing chips from Canada and the US "“How can it be green to bring vast amounts of heavy wood by ship across the Atlantic then burn it?”

Is this a sign of things to come in the UK?
