Subject: Wood is NOT renewable biomass fuel!
Dear
John Wassam & DOER,
I am
writing to express my dismay at the news of the proposed changes to the RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard)
Class I & Class II that would weaken the definition of 'eligible biomass
fuel' and would allow more wood and perhaps waste burning to be
included in Class I renewables. As differente communities in MA redouble their
effort to transition to renewable energy sources in an attempt to mitigate our
environmental impact, the proposed changes would void these efforts. Frankly
put, the proposed changes would represent a not so thinly veiled attempt
at circumventing the people’s will to take decisive actions at addressing
the threats of climate change.
I strongly urge you to rethink
DOER’s position on the matter, and to make sure wood biomass is excluded
from Class I & Class II RPS.
Sincerely,
Stefano Monti
