To whom it may concern,
As a resident of Orange, Massachusetts I would like to express my opposition to any changes in DOER policy that will further incentivize biomass in the state. The North Quabbin region will be negatively affected by the pollution that will be created as well the negative effect of excessive logging in our public and privately held forests.
Please incentivize cleaner, renewable options such as solar and wind. Incentives for rooftop solar, small scale wind, etc. make the most sense with less environmental impacts. The use of public right of ways such as median strips or already cleared utility corridors should also be considered for the siting of solar arrays (thereby minimizing forest clearing when siting new solar farms).
Sincerely,
Patrick Borezo
