Santee Cooper is forcing you to pick up the tab for a new multi-billion dollar coal plant. Expect your rates to jump at least 15 percent over the next two years. Coal is the worst choice to meet growing demand in South Carolina. We can meet our energy needs more quickly and cheaply by investing in efficiency and alternatives (CCL).
