Dear John Wassam,

In order to combat the imminent climate emergency we're facing, we need to do more than stop burning fossil fuels.  The burning of trees and trash which the proposed RPS changes would allow would produce harmful emissions that rival those of coal!  Plus,  the lifecycle CO 2  emissions from bioenergy ignores fossil fuels burned during harvesting, processing, and transport of biomass – even though such emissions can be considerable for certain fuels, especially wood pellets.
Trees are our carbon sink, not fuel for grid or industrial scaled energy. Renewable energy does not equal clean energy.
Please do not approve the easing of RPS Class I and II regulations.

Sincerely,

Robert and Marilyn Meyers
