Signed SC Energy Freedom Act promoting solar power
H3659: SC Energy Freedom Act EnergyNews.US in favor: The recently passed Energy Freedom Act supports a more resilient, clean energy future for South Carolina by supporting solar PV and battery storage technologies. The act promotes
more economical systems for utility customers and requires utilities to explore the investments in solar-plus-storage generation assets.
A.C.U. in opposition: This bill contains a key provision that drives up electricity costs by
expanding a program known as "net metering" which subsidizes solar producers. Under the program, utility companies are forced to purchase excess electricity from solar energy producers at above-market rates and infrastructure and delivery costs are
transferred to other ratepayers.
Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 40-0-0, Roll Call #400 on May/8/19; Passed House 103-0-20, Roll Call #669 on May/9/19; Signed by Governor Henry McMaster on May/16/19

Oppose offshore drilling & onshore infrastructure
Every municipality along our coast has voted to oppose drilling. With offshore drilling comes the construction of onshore infrastructure--refineries, gas storage tanks, maintenance and operating facilities, trucks and traffic.
We have no place to put it. It is incompatible with everything we have and do on our coast. Oil spills, like hurricanes, can disrupt and damage a state's economy. We cannot stop hurricanes, but we can avoid oil spills. We cannot take a chance.

Yucca Mountain Nuclear Storage Facility potentially returning $1.2 billion that was collected from South Carolina citizens to build the facility.
