Red flags in 'green energy' plan

In this mention

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial criticizes Georgia Power's voluntary green energy program as overpriced and environmentally inadequate. SACE director Steve Smith notes that the utility's proposed landfill-gas source fails to meet agreed-upon emission standards and undercuts competitors who offer similar energy without premium charges. The editorial calls on the PSC to conduct independent review and establish higher environmental standards for the program.

Georgia Power added insult to injury because the landfill gas didn't even meet the minimum emission standards they'd agreed to
