Please do not let Virginia join the RGGI.  The power that is gererated by forest derived residuals should be counted as making zero contribution to the build up of green house gas in the atmosphere where forest carbon stocks are stable.  The carbon profile of biomass is not altered  in any way because it is cofired with fossil fuel.

Please maintain the exemption for industrial boilers as this is vitial to ensuring our facilities remain competitive among other states

The increased cost for powerplants will only be passed along to the consumers of electricity resulting in another government induced tax.
