“The public deserves to know everything about the potential monthly power bill and energy impacts of the largest data center in state history before the Public Service Commission approves it. This should not be a routine, 'behind closed doors' approval process.”
“Eliminating solar and solar-plus-storage procurement leaves the door wide open for harmful, polluting methane gas plant projects to go forward. With energy costs and bills increasing, it makes no sense to effectively cancel solar development, a low-cost resource option that would keep some money in the pockets of North Carolinians.”
“We applaud Commissioners Peter Hubbard and Alicia Johnson for trying to reduce the fuel cost portion of Georgia Power electric bills. We are disappointed that the rest of the Commission is protecting the status quo”
“Georgians deserve a utility that can be held liable for the impacts of its decisions, not one that treats its customers as an unlimited line of credit.”
“The organization's Weekly EV Cost Savings Index shows that the average Georgia driver who puts 15,000 miles per year on their automobile would save more than $1,800 annually on fuel and maintenance combined, and a high-mileage driver at 25,000 miles would save $3,000 every year.”
“With major energy policy decisions that would lock-in Georgia Power ratepayers to paying for excessive, expensive dirty fossil fuel projects through 2075, the need for transparency and thorough review has never been more important. With this appeal, we are asking the Commission to follow the legal requirements that allow advocates to be part of the conversation for better policies and programs for Georgia's energy future.”
“Allowing NEVI to move forward strengthens the EV market in the Southeast—a critical manufacturing hub for electric vehicles—by supporting current EV drivers' charging needs and building consumer confidence for prospective buyers. As a region manufacturing EVs for the nation, we need a reliable charging network that matches our production capacity. This is especially important now when many Southeastern families face affordability challenges. Access to reliable charging infrastructure removes a key barrier to EV ownership, and EVs offer a clear affordability solution—cheaper to operate and maintain than gas cars.”
“The PSC's late December approval of high-cost and high-risk investments in support of speculative data center gambits demands reconsideration. This is too much bill payer money, directed at too many risky projects, with too little oversight, and too few protections.”
The Georgia Public Service Commission posted a settlement agreement approving Georgia Power's plan to build expensive gas plants to serve data centers, despite warnings from the Sierra Club, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, and the PSC's…
“The carshare model gets a lot of butts in EV seats, increasing awareness for riders and the family and friends they share their EV experience with, while showcasing the affordability of used EVs today.”
“Even more concerning is the fact that we are far from convinced that xAI didn't know when they first came to Memphis that they would expand the plans 10x. This is a classic bait and switch — xAI proposed one thing, and grew support from stakeholders like the Greater Memphis Chamber, the Memphis Shelby County Economic Development Growth Engine (EDGE), TVA, and governing authorities. Musk and crew moved forward on the path to operating the facility, and only then announced a change in magnitude that creates a fundamentally different situation for public health in Memphis, economic stability for ratepayers, and environmental security.”
“The nonprofit had hoped that Musk would use his engineering expertise to employ Tesla Megapacks and solar batter with solar and storage capability to make this facility a model of clean, renewable energy. But now the project seems more like a classic bait and switch”
Ford's new electric vehicle megacampus in Tennessee is seeking renewable energy solutions, with TVA discussing carbon reduction targets and clean power options. The article examines TVA's renewable energy portfolio, which currently stands at 3% wind and…
“Dollars contributed to PaCE will support renewable energy produced right here in South Carolina, giving a boost to our state's economy while protecting our environment. That's why we worked hard to secure this commitment from Duke Energy”
“The secret cost overruns are discussed in a censored report from late 2011 by the independent Vogtle construction monitor, Dr. William Jacobs, who is a veteran nuclear industry engineer. Much of Jacob's testimony was redacted by the utility in the attempt to keep the troubling information from the public, including the U.S. taxpayers who will be left holding the bag if Southern Company defaults on the federal loan guarantee.”
