Dr. James K. Wang, district president and an obstetrician and gynecologist, issued the doctors’ position at a press conference held at Russell Elementary School. Shortly following the press conference the Concerned Citizens of Russell which oppose the biomass plant held a community meeting.
Dr. Wang stated, “Last night, the committee met again, and reviewed information regarding the proposed biomass plants in Western Massachussets, including the Palmer Biomass Plant. As a result of those deliberations, the Hampden District Medical Society has expanded its opposition to construction and operation of this and all other biomass power plants in Western Massachussets, again citing unacceptable health risk to the population.”
