Dear Mr. Wassam,

 

I am aware of the proposed changes to the Renewable Portfolio Standard to allow for more wood and potentially waste-burning to be included in Class I renewables.  This change will weaken the definition of eligible biomass fuel, undermining efforts to increase the amount of truly clean renewables in our grid and favoring usage and construction of incinerator facilities which will result in more pollution.

 

As the mother of two boys and a scientist, I strongly oppose these changes.  I urge you to ensure that these changes are not included in the Renewable Portfolio Standard.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

Anne Cheung
