Dear John Wassam,
 
I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed changes to RPS Class I and RPS Class II regulations that would weaken restrictions on the use of wood bioenergy.  Massachusetts could be in a position to lead on clean energy policy – instead the proposed changes would increase emissions of climate pollutants while diminishing the capacity of forests to absorb those pollutants.  I write as an outdoor enthusiast and a father of three boys, whose future hangs in the balance of the climate choices we make today.  I urge you to demonstrate that Massachusetts fully embraces a clean energy policy by taking biomass out of the APS and ensuring that it is not included in the RPS.
 
Sincerely,
