The Massachusetts energy affordability bill (now H.5175) has passed in the House and is now in the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Please contact Committee members and your own state senator to continue the momentum for removing biomass subsidies from our state laws.

There is now broad support at the State House to close the "MLP biomass loophole" - a loophole that allows municipal utilities to count burning wood in power plants towards their clean energy goals. The House Committee on Ways and Means included a measure to close the loophole in its bill, so now it's time to reach out to the Senate side!

Burning wood for electricity harms our climate, our environment, and our health, and is even more polluting than fossil fuels. There should be no place in our state’s clean energy programs for burning biomass.
