Subject: wood fired power plants
Dear Mr. Wassam,
It has come to my attention that the DOER is considering classifying wood burning power plants as renewable energy. If this were to happen, it would be a huge miscalculation. Wood may be considered renewable but it is burning and emitting carbon, just like fossil fuels. It would contribute to and aggravate climate change.
I look forward to learning of the decision.
Warm regards,
Don Westwater
