SACE contributed a guest column sharply criticizing the Alabama PSC's handling of Alabama Power Company's rate-setting process. The column argues that the PSC's adoption of a new Weighted Cost of Equity (WCE) formula obscures Alabama Power's…
An Alabama Public Service Commission runoff between incumbent Tommy Battle and challenger Sarah Mitchell has become a proxy battle over solar adoption versus data center expansion. The article references a 2026 Southern Alliance for Clean Energy…
“This is not unusual for TVA to basically have their staff pushing out coal industry propaganda downplaying and misleading the public about the dangers of coal ash. And the sad irony of it is that TVA had the largest coal ash disaster of any utility in the country, and workers who were involved in the TVA cleanup actually died.”
“Florida remains a strong market for rooftop solar”
“We have a number of different counties considering moratoria on data center development. We have concerns about water use. All of those things are going to be heightened if a bigger and quicker acting company begins to make its weight felt in the state.”
A poll from consumer advocacy group PowerLines found that 76% of Americans want stronger utility oversight, though only 29% trust their state governments to protect their interests against rising utility bills. The article cites SACE's earlier…
“Air pollution is a threat to the health and well-being of us all. This rule, when coupled with strong enforcement of the Clean Air Act, will help to reduce the pollutants that cause asthma attacks, heart and lung diseases, and acid rain and will benefit public health and the environment.”

“If they don't have a place for storing radioactive waste, I don't see how they can keep a straight face when they say there will be no environmental impact from extending the licenses”
“Nuclear energy is a very unforgiving technology.”
“We feel very strongly that the current mercury rule is not protective enough for human health and the environment. It is also not protective enough for Smoky Mountains National Park.”
“No utility is interested in building a nuclear plant without massive government subsidies. The new energy bill gives all kinds of tax breaks to the nuclear industry, and now NuStart wants even more tax breaks from state and local governments.”
“TVA's ongoing $1.8 billion investment in reviving the Unit 1 reactor at the Browns Ferry Plant in Alabama is depleting the agency's cash and could force a rate increase this fall.”
“We don't think that in the long term subsidizing the construction of two or three nuclear plants is going to make that much difference in America's energy policy. We'd like to see a more environmentally responsible approach than contaminating another site in Alabama with radioactive wastes. But it's still not at all clear that Wall Street is ready to invest in nuclear power.”
“The new air pollution requirements already announced should encourage TVA to rethink whether it wants to continue to make major investments in some of its oldest and smallest coal units”
