“The most significant piece of what the president did yesterday was to signal in a very clear and unequivocable way to continue to use the Clean Air Act to regulate the massive amounts of carbon pollution. While Florida is not dominated by coal plants, there are a number of coal plants that will be affected by this rule.”
“A well-designed energy efficiency program is always cheaper than building a power plant at all”
“TVA needs a fully functional board of highly qualified individuals with diverse backgrounds as the agency makes critical decisions about how energy is produced and consumed in the Tennessee Valley while protecting the region's natural resources”
“Technology options available today can provide an electricity system with far lower water and climate risks, and a system based on efficiency and renewables is a sound and speedy way to do it. Unfortunately, Georgia Power and their utility partners' lack of leadership on energy efficiency and continued pursuit of extremely expensive, highly water-intensive new nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle along the Savannah River is clearly moving in the wrong direction.”
“That would have been such an excellent opportunity to do some real investments in energy efficiency and renewables which are inherently water-saving. Instead they chose nearly the most water-intensive energy supply option there is. It can't just be this 'if not coal, then nuclear' or we are stuck just where we are today which is this expensive, water-hogging energy infrastructure.”

“Duke Energy's hidden agenda in attacking solar net-metering policy is the simple fact that customer-owned solar generation challenges their central utility business model”
An editorial urging South Carolina's Public Service Commission to adopt three policy recommendations from the Coastal Conservation League and SACE regarding Duke Energy's proposed natural gas facility in Lee County. The groups recommend the PSC require…
