From the CEO
'So, what are you doing about it?'
Faced with news of sharply rising power prices, energy and climate policy uncertainty and tightening electricity supplies,
you may ask, "What is Palmetto Electric Cooperative doing about it?"
|
| Pressure is mounting in Congress to do something about climate change.
And while political debates in Washington, D.C., may seem far away, the outcome
will have a direct impact on our cooperative – and on you, the cooperative member and other electric consumers. |
