Subject:                                     Change in the RPS to allow Biomass

 

Good  afternoon, 

 

I am very concerned about the DOER and state's plan to change or amend the RPS, which has had strict guidelines on the use of Biomass as a source of renewable energy.

I believe strongly that changing these guidelines to allow different sources of wood and a weakening of standards will lead to more, not less CO2 emissions. At this critical time, MA needs and has to become a leader in green energy but allowing Biomass into the RPS is not the way to achieve this. 

 

It is very disheartening that Governor Baker is not fulfilling his promise to be in  alliance with other U.S. governors that pledged to support the Paris Climate Change Agreement. The proposed regulations take Massachusetts in the opposite and wrong direction.

 

Sincerely, 

Tina Cornell
