Over 100 scientists sent a letter yesterday to the U.S. Senate and House expressing, “Our concern that equating biogenic carbon emissions with fossil fuel emissions, such as contemplated in the EPA Tailoring Rule and other policies, is not consistent with good science and, if not corrected, could stop the development of new emission reducing biomass energy facilities. It could also encourage existing biomass energy facilities to convert to fossil fuels or cease producing renewable energy. This is counter to our country’s renewable energy and climate mitigation goals.”
