Hi,

 

I am extremely concerned with Biomass policies in our state.

 

Burning ANYTHING is primitive and bad for the environment. Encouraging the cutting of trees for fuel (you can't honestly believe that this won't happen) releases the carbon that these trees have sequestered for generations.

 

We need to stop burning things for power, for heating, and for transportation, if we are to have a chance at reversing the environmental damage that we are doing. All new and revised policies should be moving us forward away from all forms of combustion. We do have alternatives available now that our cave-dwelling ancestors did not.

 

Thanks for your consideration.
