BOSTON AP — The Patrick administration is rethinking its support of wood-burning power plants, a key element of its long-term strategy to wean Massachusetts off fossil fuels. Wood, also known as “biomass,” has long been part of the state’s portfolio of renewable energy sources, along with solar, wind and geothermal. State Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles says the administration now wants more information about the possible negative effects of the wood-burning plants.
