Hello DOER,

Clean energy does not come out of a smokestack. Burning wood pollutes the environment and replacing trees with new forests to recapture the emissions, is a joke, moreover living forests sequester CO2.

Health impacts are an immediate consequence of wood burning.  The Commonwealth and its citizens can ill afford increased health care costs and reductions in quality of life due to illness caused by particulate matter pollution.

I urge you to withdraw the proposed eligibility changes to RPS Class I and Class II.

Thank you.

Warm wishes,
