Speak Out on Proposed Santee Cooper Plant |
Two important public hearings are being held on Santee Cooper’s misguided plan to build a coal-fired power plant on the Great Pee Dee River. The plant would emit 300 pounds of mercury (a neurotoxin dangerous even in small quantities), 8.7 million tons of the global warming gas CO2, and thousands of tons of smog and soot-forming pollutants (SO2, NOx and PM2.5) every year.
Hearings will be held at Coastal Carolina University in Conway on Tuesday, September 25 and at South Florence High School on Thursday, September 27. For more information, see the Coastal Conservation League website.
