Subject: Withdraw the DOER dirty biomass rules
Dear
Mr. Wassam,
Withdraw
the DOER dirty biomass rules for the RPS. They would allow dirty and
inefficient wood-burning biomass power plants to be eligible for renewable
energy credits! They have no business getting renewable energy credits
because they are not "clean" or "net-zero."
They
would significantly increase clean energy subsidies for biomass power plants
and garbage incinerators! We should not be building polluting facilities
anywhere, and especially not in Springfield or any other Environmental Justice
communities in the Commonwealth.
Thank
you!
Sincerely,
Carolyn
