Environmental activists work against affordable energy

More delay and costs make
environmentalists happy. They
want you to blame SCE&G. 

ar power plant costs more, blame environmental activists, not SCE&G

Each month you get an energy bill, especially in the Obama Administration, the costs seem to skyrocket.
President Barack Obama said he would tax coal out of business, and he has not problem with $4-a-gallon gas. 
Limiting use, and charging you more, is what the left will do to force "conservation." 

Now the V.C. Summer Nuclear reactors, in Fairfield County, are being delayed and the cost will be millions more. SCE&G is one of the companies building the reactors.

Environmentalists are giddy with the news of higher costs and problems.

“We have warned from the start of this risky project that it would face significant delays and cost increases, so there is unfortunately no big surprise in SCE&G’s stunning news,” Environmentalist Tom Clements, director of Savannah River Site Watch (SRS Watch) told The State newspaper. “SCE&G ratepayers, already facing seven rate increases to pay in advance for the nuclear project, will likely take it on the chin by the cost increases due to the announced delays.”

The State also said: “Watchdog groups sought to deter the addition of new nuclear reactors at V.C. Summer in 2008 before construction began, arguing conservation, alternative energy and efficiency should first be exhausted for adding new power capacity before more dangerous and costly nuclear options."

How much did the environmentalist agitators opposition cost us customers? That is never reported.   

Although the details of SCE&G's recent issues are not given, chances are regulators with the Obama Administration are behind delays and extra costs.

Meanwhile Obama has refused to approve the Keystone (oil) pipeline. 

When BP had a much-exaggerated accident, an Obama official said the government would place a “boot on the neck” of the company. How's that for hate of commerce.

Liberal governments place burdens on companies, then attack the company when the result of the government assaults is higher prices and diminished service for customers.

They know most people will also blame the corporation. But the company is usually just doing what the government makes them do.
