Please consider this my comment on
your proposal to include the burning of biomass in the RPS criteria.
The intent of the RPS is to reduce
carbon emissions. Trees, especially mature trees sequester carbon.
In
It makes no sense to eliminate the
"low-impact" incentives for hydropower or to cut short the SREC-1
solar incentive if we are serious about reducing carbon emissions QUICKLY while
protecting the environment. PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE OF
REDUCING CARBON AND PROMOTING A SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT. Reject the
proponents of these changes -- their profit motive is NOT in the public
interest.
In addition, many people are not
aware of the proposed changes in regulations. I urge you to extend the
comment period for this most important proposal.
Attached please see some major
reasons why I want a liveable carbon-free future
