Clean energy, green economy!
There’s no question that Georgia has the technological know-how to dramatically reduce our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels. But, rather than tapping in to this potential, utility companies are lining up in Georgia for a sprint in the wrong direction.
Recently, a new power plant was proposed near Macon Georgia. This plant will pollute our air and water, increase global warming pollution, and cost billions of dollars that could have been spent on energy efficiency and renewables.
Thankfully, it is not too late. States all over the country are making the decision to stop the construction of dirty and costly coal plants in favor of cleaner solutions. At the same time, Congress has a big oppotunity this summer to pass policies such as renewable electricity and energy efficiency standards and tax credits that can lead to real solutions that are good for our economy and good for the environment More.
