SACE Quoted
Setting An Energy Standard
In this mention
Article examines renewable energy standards (RES) versus clean energy standards (CES) at state and federal levels, debunking myths that RESs raise electricity rates. John Bonitz of SACE argues that RESs are more effective than proposed federal CES legislation for driving renewable energy investment, particularly in the Southeast, and advocates for stronger state-level policies and preservation of biomass tax credits.
They have driven a significant amount of investment and renewables there, and there is no data that indicates RESs drive up electricity rates; that is totally a myth, and the most common one.
