Petition to Stop the Construction of
Santee Cooper's Pee Dee Coal Plant

We, the undersigned, are opposed to the coal plant that public utility Santee Cooper proposes to build on the banks of the Great Pee Dee River in southern Florence County, near Pamplico.

The dirty coal plant will emit 93 pounds of toxic mercury, 3,500 tons of ozone-forming nitrous oxide, 7,000 tons of soot-forming sulfur dioxide, 900 tons of lung-damaging particulate matter and 11.6 million tons of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas most responsible for global warming.

This dirty coal plant will endanger our health, damage our environment and undermine South Carolina's effort to become energy independent. Santee Cooper has addressed neither the human health and environmental impacts of this plant, nor the long term economic risks of investing in coal as an energy source.

The dirty coal plant is not needed to meet our energy needs. By investing in energy efficiency and clean renewable energy, South Carolina can meet its growing demand without relying on a polluting, out-of-state energy source like coal.

We request that Santee Cooper abandon its plans to construct this plant. We also urge our state regulatory agencies, the Governor, the Santee Cooper Board of Directors and our state legislature to exercise their authority to halt this plant.
