Southern Alliance for Clean Energy-Georgia Chapter
ABOUT US
Georgia is blessed with the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the fertile soils of the southern piedmont and the rich diversity of the coastal plain. However, each of these regions is threatened by our ever-changing climate. And unstable water resources, a vulnerable coastline and little political leadership make for an even more dangerous combination in Georgia.
Although some local governments are showing leadership on climate and energy issues, concerned voices are mostly overshadowed by the influence of powerful electric utilities. Georgia’s heavy reliance of fossil fuels contributes to climate change, and the state’s reliance on nuclear and coal overburdens limited water resources. Many of the state’s utilities show little sign of movement with large nuclear and coal plants under proposal.
