Clean energy advocates say it's possible for Georgia Power and other southern utilities to eliminate carbon emissions by 2035.

President Joe Biden has set that year as a goal for the electricity sector for addressing climate change, and his administration has called for a federal clean energy standard as part of its infrastructure plan.

In a report released Tuesday, the advocacy group Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, or SACE, said that if the federal government does set a requirement, utilities in the South would be able to comply with it.
