Subject: RPS should definitely not include wood burning
Dear Mr. Wassam,
I am writing you as a
concerned resident of Massachusetts. I have just learned that the Baker
Administration is trying to change the definition of renewable energy to
include and incentivize wood-burning power plants. We have only a decade
to try and reverse our CO2 emissions situation and avert climate disaster – we
should be doing everything in our power to move towards clean energy.
Burning wood is not clean energy: it not only leads to pollution and
increased particulates in the air but it also involves destroying trees that
are 20-30 years old which absorb tremendous amounts of CO2. This proposal
is a double negative! Please do not allow this to happen.
Massachusetts deserves better than this.
Sincerely yours,
Amy Hunter Maguire
