SPUR conditionally supports SB 1097, arguing that California urgently needs faster permitting to expand clean energy and meet statutory climate goals, but only if the bill is amended. SPUR urges excluding biomass thermal energy combustion facilities from streamlined environmental review because of their significant local pollution and disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged communities. Overall, SPUR backs accelerating truly clean energy projects like solar, wind, storage, and transmission, while maintaining stricter review for higher-polluting technologies.
