Dear John,
I oppose the inclusion of
burning biomass or of trash for that matter in our MA Renewable Portfolio
Standards.
Among other considerations,
the Palmer plant will increase particulate matter in the air that Springfield
children breathe, exacerbating their already high levels of asthma.
Please do NOT allow this
practice to happen!

PS; see Lindsay Sabadosa's
excellent article in today's Gazette. She speaks truly for us all!
