What Will EPA's Elimination of Limits on CO2 Emissions Mean for Georgia?
More tons of CO2 in the air we breathe.
Hotter summers, Bigger hurricanes.

What Will It Mean for Georgia Power?
More profits, Bigger bonuses.

The power sector is the second largest source of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the United States. This pollution accumulates in the atmosphere, traps the sun’s heat, raising temperatures and supercharging extreme weather events around the globe.

Keisha Lance Bottoms wants a pause on new data centers in Georgia to assess and find a way forward that protects the environment, our communities, and our utility bills.
That makes good sense. I'm voting for Keisha!

Solar didn’t simply wake up one morning more affordable. Research, innovation, and investment drove costs down by 90% in 15 years. Today, wind and solar are far cheaper than fossil-fuel alternatives.

The average American utility gets paid for everything they spend on construction plus 9.7%. Customers do the paying.

Georgia Power gets paid all they spend plus 1️⃣1️⃣.9️⃣%!
That's $700 million per year in excess profits. That's why our utility bills are so high!
