EPA Administrator considers biomass-fired and fossil fuel powered generators the same

In Washington, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson is under fire by Congress and the public for attempting to treat biomass-fired power generators the same as fossil fuel power generators under a new proposed rule on greenhouse gas calculations. She received letters from 163 companies and interest groups, as well as 63 members of Congress, expressing concern and disappointment over the agency’s decision in its “tailoring” rule to treat greenhouse gas emissions from biomass fuel the same as such emissions from fossil energy resources.
The rule goes into effect January 2011.
