Protecting jobs in New Hampshire has always been my top priority. This is why I have consistently supported the biomass power plants that burn low-grade wood to produce electricity. One of these plants is in Tamworth and five others are in northern and western New Hampshire. These six plants employ hard-working men and women directly at the plants, as well as those who work in the forests.

Over 900 jobs and $250 million of annual economic activity are directly related to these six plants. These jobs and economic activity have received bipartisan support for years. Unfortunately, they again are at risk as all of the plants have been temporarily shut down at times due to litigation preventing implementation of legislation I wrote in 2018 — SB 365.
