Oppose the RGGI Rule as Written
 

Because biomass is not a fossil fuel and doesn't have a carbon footprint, why should we have regulatory restrictions to add to our cost of producing wood products and paper?  We would like to see the rule amended to specifically exclude emissions from biomass sources.
