Re: RPS Class I and
RPS Class II Rulemaking - 225 CMR 14.00 and 225 CMR 15.00 - Joint Stakeholder
Comments
Dear Mr. Wassam:
I wish to make
comments regarding the proposed changes to Massachusetts’ Renewable Portfolio
Standard (“RPS”) Class I and RPS Class II Regulations. It is my understanding
that the changes proposed to the RPS would weaken this important state energy
standard.
DOER’s proposals
for substantially weakening biomass eligibility requirements and increasing
subsidies for garbage incineration does not move us to the requirements of the
Global Warming Solutions Act (“GWSA”). Adding burning matter to our already
challenged air is a mistake, harming health in the short run and not satisfying
the GWSA that our state mandates.
