Advocate for Climate Action

Climate change doesn’t affect everyone equally.  With thousands of miles of coastline, important ecosystems and state economies based largely on outdoor tourism and agriculture, the Southeast is arguably the most vulnerable region in the United States.  Effective solutions that protect our treasured places, strengthen our economy, and ensure healthy communities are essential.

Promote Clean Energy

Dirty energy sources like coal and oil have plagued the Southeast for too long.  They endanger our health with toxic pollution, cause us to depend on other states and countries, and cause climate change. That's why we need a massive launch of clean, renewable energy in the Southeast.

Support Clean Fuels

Clean fuels and alternative transportation options are importantcomponents in reducing our global warming pollution and addressingunstable fuel prices.  Although the Southeast is heavily dependent onthe automobile, this region is also at the forefront of developingmuch-needed solutions such as sustainable biofuels.

Encourage Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency makes economic sense - we can do more with less. It is the fastest, most cost-effective and least-utilized energy resource at our disposal. But for the Southeast to take full advantage of this opportunity, we must overcome the barriers to energy efficiency: weak regulatory frameworks, pricing structures that rewards utilities for selling more electricity, and economic models that ignore the environmental costs of conventional energy sources.

Oppose High Risk Energy

High risk energy choices are energy options that contribute to global warming pollution, such as coal-fired power plants, or those that pose threats to public health and safety, such as nuclear power plants. These risky energy choices endanger our economy, health, security, water resources, and the environment.
