“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.”

“It is extremely unfortunate that the Department of Energy continues to move forward with this troubled loan guarantee program without providing the full details and terms of the guarantees in a timely manner. This is corporate welfare for one of the largest power companies in the country and a bad deal for U.S. taxpayers”
