“Beyond Plastics” Seminar Coming this Fall

The course, “Beyond Plastic Pollution” will run for seven consecutive Wednesday evenings beginning on September 3 and continuing until October 15.
By May 7, ask your senator for a firm NO on House H.3309. It will leave South Carolinians paying to subsidize energy and tax bills for data centers, weakens energy efficiency provisions, and reduces transparency. They want us to pay some costs in advance for plants that haven't even been built.
The SC Senate made positive changes to H.3309 but also incorporated the Rate Stabilization Act, a provision to allow utilities to raise customer rates annually without presenting a case before the Public Service Commission. Urge your House Representative to retain the positive Senate changes and delete the Rate Stabilization Act provisions.
