Dear Mr. Wassam,

 

I wish to object to the proposed RPS changes to regulations on biomass energy. These changes will roll back the intended protections in the Massachusetts biomass rules, which should be strengthened, not weakened, to reflect the now-understood urgency of climate change.

 

Please count me as a Massachusetts resident and voter AGAINST the proposed changes to allow what will be increases in CO2 emissions, and extend the timeframe of ‘benefit’ from 20 to 30 years, when we have only 10 YEARS OR LESS to reduce our CO2 emissions to prevent serious and non-reversible changes to our environment.

 

I am the grandmother of 4 small children - all under the age of 7 - and I am writing to you in hopes that the changes will be rejected, to that my grandchildren and all members of their generation might have a reasonable life on this planet.

 

With best regards,
