Default UK company plans 3 wood power/heat plants

I thought this was quite interesting. I didn't think wood was really considered as a fuel for modern power plants. I would think you'd need absolutely ridiculous amounts of wood to run a power plant off of it... Perhaps I'm wrong.

Estover Plans Three U.K. Wood-to-Power Plants for $354 Million - Bloomberg

The U.K. expects 15 percent of its energy to come from renewable sources by 2020 compared with 9.4 percent now. The government estimates as much 30 percent of that may come from biomass plants that use municipal waste, wood and straw.
