Climate Change
Energy production and climate change are intricately linked. In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation in environmental impact. In the Southeastern United States, electricity generation is primarily from the combustion of fossil fuels. This energy sector, along with greenhouse gases from mobile sources such as cars and trucks, make up the majority of the manmade greenhouse gas footprint of the Southeastern United States. Reducing our Region's greenhouse gas emissions will, thus, require us to look for ways to lessen the footprint of these two sectors at a minimum.
The links on this page provide general information on climate change as well as links to organizations that are working to reduce greenhouse gas emission intensty from a variety of sources, including the electric utility sector and the mobile sources sector.
