Advocates Say Zero Carbon Energy From Southern Utilities Is Possible By 2035

Clean energy advocates say it’s possible for Georgia Power and other southern utilities to eliminate carbon emissions by 2035.

President Joe Biden has set that year as a goal for the electricity sector for addressing climate change, and his administration has called for a federal clean energy standard as part of its infrastructure plan.

In a report released Tuesday, the advocacy group Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, or SACE, said that if the federal government does set a requirement, utilities in the South would be able to comply with it.
