“Renewable energy credits are meant to support new renewable energy projects, not an old, polluting facility from 1987,” said Damon Motz-Storey, of Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility.
“Every dollar that would be spent giving a corporate handout to Covanta, a multinational company, would be a dollar not spent on clean technology, such as wind and solar energy projects that promote green, living-wage jobs and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels,” Motz-Storey said.
