Georgia Power Gas Expansion Would Drive Significant Climate-Damaging Pollution

In this mention

Georgia's Public Service Commission approved a $16 billion expansion of natural gas power plants owned or backed by Georgia Power, adding roughly 10 gigawatts of capacity by 2031, primarily to support data center growth. Environmental groups including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy argue the expansion lacks justification and could lock Georgia into decades of fossil fuel emissions, potentially reversing two decades of emission reductions. The projects could produce over 20 million metric tons of CO2-equivalent annually and raise Georgia's total emissions by more than 13 percent.
