Subject:                                     my opposition to changes to the RPS

 

Dear Mr. Wassam

 I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed changes the Mass Renewable Energy Portfolio. Many studies have shown that using biomass for energy production is not a useful way to address the crises of climate change and creates more problems than it solves. Please listen to those of us who have taken the time to study alternative energy systems and do NOT approve the changes proposed to the states RPS. Climate change is a real crises and false solutions will make it more difficult to address this problem. Thank you for considering my argument.
