News Georgia Power reaches out to solar and wind power
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Nov 27, 2007 at 7:53 PM
Georgia Power, the largest subsidiary of energy juggernaut Southern Company, announced that it's accepting proposals from wind- and solar-power providers, which the company will in turn sell to its Georgia customers. Yippee! Zero-emission energy for we!
Well, possibly. According to a Georgia Power representative, there are few providers in the state, as Georgia has historically been a region not too suitable for solar- and wind-power generation. (The company did recently find, however, that wind power would be feasible along the coast.) You've got until October of next year to hook those pretty pinwheels in your garden up to a battery and make our world a clean and spiffy place. And yourself a buck. Click on the link above to get the 40-page proposal.
Has Georgia Power not thought about contacting the Manns? That 45-foot-tall eco-monster of a turbine they built in Grant Park might just pay off.

GA Power will only try wind or solar if there's no risk to them, only to taxpayers. And they are trying to deflect now that everyone knows they are the biggest water users in the state, and have never, nor never will, try to reduce their monstrous intake.
