Alabama Bucks Trend Towards Renewable Energy

From this article: Alabama Power to Increase Fossil Fuel Use, Delays Solar Request:

Alabama regulators voted today to give the go-ahead to Alabama Power Company’s request to add almost 2 million megawatts of energy from natural gas sources to its capacity to generate electricity. The plan, proposed last year, would include a new 726-megawatt gas unit at its Plant Barry near Mobile. The commission also voted to delay consideration of Alabama Power’s additional request to add 400 megawatts in solar-plus-storage generation to its inventory.

When the U.S. can finally get its attention off the pandemic and its struggle with racist policing, we may want to consider once again what we’re doing to decarbonize our energy.
