Biomass energy push gains traction despite some objections

In this mention

Georgia Power is moving forward with plans to build a 50-megawatt biomass plant despite objections from environmentalists who argue the economics don't support it. Bryan Jacob, solar program director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, testified before commissioners expressing concern that smaller energy producers could be excluded from the bidding process and emphasized the long-term implications of portfolio decisions.

The result of the (proposals) will influence decisions about plant retirement and the Georgia Power portfolio, not just between now and 2028 but really for the next 30 years. So, I think ratepayers are expecting the collective us, but specifically commissioners, to get it right now.
