An editorial article caught my eye the other day in the Boston Globe. The article was about biomass and how the EPA (The Environmental Protection Agency) concluded that it was the best way to "curb Greenhouse gases." This is the first time that the EPA has regarded biomass as the leading source to deal with forest management without creating greenhouse gases. While this decision won't make a huge difference to the climate in the short term, over time this will benefit the earth. While some say biomass isn't the perfect alternative energy, with the EPA approving it, biomass has taken a step in the right direction.
Finally the EPA has let biomass become a larger contributor in the energy world. The EPA has realized that biomass can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases. I give the EPA praise because they made the right decision by approving the new biomass policy.
