RCRC Chair Testifies in Support of Biomass Bill

Earlier this week, RCRC Chair and Sierra County Supervisor Lee Adams testified on behalf of RCRC in Support of Assembly Bill 590 by Assembly Member Brian Dahle (R-Bieber).  

AB 590 would allow for Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund monies to be utilized for the support of biomass infrastructure in order to assist in bringing California’s forests back into a healthy and fire-resilient state.  RCRC’s AB 590 support letter can be accessed here.

“Not only is biomass energy a clean form of energy that helps to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and other criteria pollutants, but it is also vital to the completion of forest management projects in California.  Without some way to address the biomass issue, forest management projects cannot move forward,” said Supervisor Adams.
