Biomass opponents in Traverse City, Michigan are celebrating Traverse City Light and Power’s announcement to “shelve” plans to build up to five biomass incinerators. (June 27, 2010 )

Monica Evans of Michigan Citizens for Energy, the Economy and Environment, one of several groups opposing the incinerators, said: “Burning our forests isn’t the answer. The answer is the conservation of energy, the generation of solar and wind power and…to stand up to dirty energy and take back our air, water and soil.”
