Whether focused on decreasing U.S. dependency on foreign sources of petroleum, controlling the man-made contribution to global climate change, minimizing the public health impact of air and water pollution caused by the combustion of fossil energy or promoting economic growth built around emerging technologies, there seems to be something for everyone in alternative energy. SCRA's Support in Clean Energy Initiatives SCRA is supporting clean energy initiatives throughout South Carolina and beyond in several ways:
