Vehicles in NC emit more polluting greenhouse gases than power plants
“We have to pick up the pace because climate change isn't slowing down”
Duke Energy aims to double renewable energy capacity by 2030
“Duke has not engaged or presented to stakeholders what kind of transmission planning that would include and how Duke plans to get that going before 2030”
Environmental, Clean Energy Groups Challenge Approval of Southeast Energy Exchange Market
Environmental and clean energy organizations, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to challenge the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's approval of the Southeast Energy Exchange Market…
Florida, No. 2 in nation for electric cars, about to get a boost to its charger network
“Increasing fast chargers along evacuation routes will increase confidence in going electric. Electric vehicles are key to slashing the climate change pollution driving the extreme heat, flooding and sea level rise already harming Floridians' health. Clean cars save on fuel and also avoid tailpipe emissions that cause asthma attacks, emphysema, and some cancers.”
TVA launches new nuclear program for smaller, modular reactors
“TVA has never brought a nuclear reactor project in on budget nor on schedule”
Florida produces more solar power than most states, though it lags smaller ones on rooftop panels
PolitiFact fact-checks Charlie Crist's claim that New Jersey and Maryland produce more solar power than Florida. While those states ranked higher in 2012, Florida has since surpassed both in total solar generation and installed capacity, ranking…
Tennessee Valley Authority proposes new nuclear program
“We have known TVA is interested in pursuing an SMR for a while. This latest announcement is just a distraction from the fact that TVA is lagging behind on proven clean energy solutions like energy efficiency and renewables. A key point is that SMR technology is unproven from both the technology and financial standpoints, yet TVA has throttled back on proven, cost-effective technologies like solar.”

Electric vehicles are here. How can we make them equitable?

Florida legislators attempt to appease solar advocates with amendment to controversial net metering bill
“when Florida's utilities last requested rate increases from the Public Service Commission, not one cited lost revenue from rooftop solar customers as an issue”
Legislation that would change Florida’s rooftop solar industry gets pushback
“I can tell you that what primarily drives bills up is investment in assets like power plants and expenses to run those investments, like fuel costs. Case in point -- FPL passed on $300 million last year in higher fuel costs to its customers and is passing on another $810 million this year.”
Rooftop solar fans cry foul when their testimony is cut short
“I just want to address that myth that rooftop-solar use raises bills on customers. What primarily drives bills up is investments in assets like power plants. … Those costs are driving up bills right now to customers in south Florida and former Gulf customers in the Panhandle, spiking the fuel portion of their bill by 24 percent.”
