Letters to the Editor
“South Carolina has the second greatest offshore wind resource on the East Coast and stands to gain thousands of jobs in the industry if we were to seriously pursue it. Wind energy never runs out, and it doesn't create pollution.”
Clean wind energy
“South Carolina is uniquely positioned to be a national leader in offshore wind energy because of its favorable wind conditions, gently sloping coast, outstanding port facilities to support increased commerce, and a diverse industrial base to support manufacturing, transportation, and installation of wind turbines.”
Standing against drilling

Coalition takes aim at emissions
“Putting a price on carbon will raise the price of electricity, there's no doubt about that, but you can offset that with efficiency and conservation”
Letters to the Editor
“First, we can do no harm. The proposed Santee Cooper 1,320-megawatt, dirty, coal-fired power plant will spew out tons of global-warming pollution a year. We cannot afford to put any more pollution into our atmosphere. Second, one of the best things we can do to reduce pollution also will help us save on our electricity bills. Everyone should focus immediately on using energy more wisely by installing programmable thermostats, better windows and doors, and efficient insulation and appliances. Third, we can invest in clean homegrown energy resources. South Carolina has great potential for offshore wind power, as well as the ability to put farmers to work growing energy for our future.”
