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. Please help make sure that this popular policy fix (to close the loophole) is not bogged down in a lengthy controversial bill.

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.  

Please help move this legislation filed by Senator Adam Gomez and Rep. Orlando Ramos forward to keep Massachusetts’ energy programs heading in the right direction for our climate and public health. You can learn more about these bills on the No Toxic Biomass campaign website.

We need the legislature to act quickly. Click "Start Writing" to send a message today that goes to your own state legislators and all 17 members of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy!
