Chris (dZards, D(uJene, Zho Zas pre viously luNeZarm on the leJislation. Biomass is politically popular in rural areas of the state and communities Zith timber mills Zhere Zood Zaste can be used as fuel. At the same time, some envi ronmentalists have ques tioned Zhether biomass should qualify as reneZ able enerJy, and researchers have found burninJ Zood can release more carbon than coal. The reneZable enerJy bill movinJ throuJh the /eJislature Zould require 3aci¿ Corp and 3ortland *eneral (lectric to stop usinJ coal poZer to serve their OreJon customers. It Zould also require the utili ties use sources such as solar and Zind to serve percent of their customers¶ enerJy demand by . The +ouse passed the bill last ZeeN. “)or those of us that have been looNinJ for a path for Zard for biomass viability as a poZer source, this is the most substantial piece of leJislation Ze¶ve had,” (dZards said durinJ a hear inJ on the bill at the +ouse Committee on 5ules Thurs day niJht. (dZards said bio mass incentives Zould help create or Neep Mobs in Ore Jon, Jiven that even a south ern OreJon saZmill oZner had recently told (dZards he planned to shut doZn a biomass plant because it Zould be cheaper to use nat ural Jas. The House Committee on 5ules ultimately voted on Thursday to insert the latest version of the reneZ able enerJy bill, includinJ the biomass provision, into another piece of leJisla tion and send that bill to the House for a À oor vote. They did so in order to revive the bill after it stalled in the face of 5epublican opposition in the 6enate. 5epublicans in the 6en ate, Zho oppose the bill, are draftinJ a minority report. There is no deadline to pro duce the report, so the move could prevent the measure from cominJ to a vote before the end of the session.
