Communities are urging Congress to enact a renewable electricity standard (RES) that includes waste-to-energy as soon as possible.  For example, the towns of Brewster, Plymouth, and Fairhaven, Massachusetts have written to Sen. Scott Brown, urging him to support the leading RES proposal, which includes waste-to-energy, in order to "allow our communities to continue to support the production of clean renewable energy for years to come."  The Energy Recovery Council also strongly supports immediate enactment of a renewable energy standard, which will bring renewable policies in the United States more in line with successful renewable policies abroad.
