This project should not be approved, as it will add to the already disproportionate burden of pollution on Quincy. There are safer, cleaner, more renewable sources of backup energy that should be used instead of diesel generators! This project goes a...

Out of concern for the residents in the area, additional diesel generators should not be approved. Generators cause significant pollution, including with fine (<2.5) particles, linked to asthma, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The Quincy area already has a higher than average burden of air pollution, so it is a matter of fairness that the community should not face the additional burden of more generators. The cumulative burden of all projects must be considered.

There are cleaner alternatives, for example battery storage and renewable energy, that ar...

I urge the committee to reject this proposal. It substantially underestimates emissions, which will disproportionately affect rural and poor communities. If there are not strict conditions to mitigate these harms, the project should not be approved.
