South Carolina’s Energy Crossroads: How H.3309 Impacts Us All

In this episode of Breaking Barriers with Angel Heaven Lee, we dive deep into the newly signed South Carolina Energy Security Act. Angel unpacks the wins.. like competitive solar procurement and preserved oversight… and the risks, like automatic utility rate hikes and a new natural gas plant. She explores how these policies will impact low-income households, disabled residents, and rural communities across the state. Plus, updates on PFAS cleanup funding and what you can do to keep energy and water safe and affordable.

Topics include:

– Clean energy competition and ratepayer savings

– Automatic rate hikes and utility accountability

– The Canadys natural gas project and rural land impacts

– Energy efficiency programs for low-income households

– PFAS remediation funding and safe water access

– Smart growth and protecting property rights
