Wood (biomass) and trash incineration have devastating effects. People who live near these polluting incinerators are at a higher risk for asthma, heart disease and cancer just from breathing the air. And of course, incineration releases more carbon at a time when we need to be doing everything we can to prevent the worst effects of climate change.

But Governor Baker and his administration are trying to pass off these toxic, polluting, high-cost energy sources as renewables. That means that taxpayer money—meant to increase renewable energy in our state—would go to these dirty industries instead.
