“Boosting our clean power generation could make Alabama significantly more competitive in the global economy”
“Clean Energy Biofuels' biodiesel meets the ASTM standard, ensuring quality and consistency that rivals conventional diesel. However, our biodiesel produces far less toxic emissions than conventional diesel, which means better air quality in our urban area.”
“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.”
Cameron Smith, policy director of the Alabama Policy Institute, critiques environmental advocacy groups including SACE for their involvement in PSC rate hearings, arguing they are using populist messaging to advance an anti-coal agenda rather than transparently…

“If you are not going to allow it (the nomination), you owe it to the people of the Tennessee Valley. This doesn't make any sense.”
“The state has not gone far enough to encourage the use of homegrown renewable energy. We send close to $60 billion dollars out of state to buy fuel from elsewhere in order to create jobs in Florida. We need to keep those energy dollars here at home.”
Santee Cooper has agreed to remove 1.3 million tons of coal ash from the Waccamaw River in Conway following a settlement of lawsuits filed by conservation groups including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. The utility…
“We believe that TVA should and will ultimately close many more of its coal units. There are huge environmental and health benefits that come from shutting down these units, but there are also economic benefits of letting those units go rather than spending so much on pollution controls and staffing to keep these old and inefficient plants going”
“nuclear tax”
