Forum: Renewable energy plan would hurt consumers
In this mention
Stan Wise, a Georgia Public Service Commission member, argues that federal renewable portfolio standards and carbon cap-and-trade systems would disproportionately harm low-income ratepayers in Georgia. He contends that Georgia lacks sufficient wind and solar resources to meet proposed 25% renewable generation mandates by 2021, and advocates for including hydroelectric, nuclear, and biomass in renewable energy standards to avoid wealth transfer out of the state.
