Dear John Wassam,

I oppose the proposed DOER regulatory changes allowing retailers to meet renewable energy goals by purchasing energy from polluting biomass power plants.  The proposed Palmer biomass plant is in East Springfield, which will add more air pollution to a low income community that already suffers from alarmingly high rates of asthma, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other chronic health problems.
