Charlie Baker to not allow rule changes favorable to Springfield biomass plant Updated Feb 17, 2021; Facebook Share SPRINGFIELD Area organizations that have fought against a proposed biomass energy plant in East Springfield for the last 12 years urged Gov. Charlie Baker on Wednesday to reject rule changes favorable to the project.
