Subject:                                     Changes to the RPS Class I and RPS Class II regulations

 

I totally DISAGREE with changing the regulations by eliminating efficiency requirements for biomass facilities that receive credits for using fuel that’s more than 95 percent damaged or dead trees.

 

Burning wood IS NOT  a renewable energy source. This is absolutely ridiculous and sounds like a tactic promoted by the wood industry!  Changing the regulations would take a huge step backward in solving our climate crisis.

 

Sincerely,
