KEY INSIGHTS

1

Local Government

Local ordinances have a unique ability to impact socioeconomic disparities, but to create change on the local level, a coalition of legislators needs agreeable framing, political capital, and material resources. 

2

State Government

The functions of state executive agencies require effective communication, especially in the face of a volatile legislature. 

3

Federal Government

State agencies often go beyond simply filling gaps left by federal policy in their rule-making— and in fact, they can enforce stricter regulations that reflect state-specific concerns

LEADERSHIP: 

EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

South Carolina relies largely on out-of-state nonrenewable energy reserves, despite a higher-than-average capacity for solar/renewable energy generation in-state. Further, low-income counties in South Carolina face the brunt of the state’s high energy cost burdens.  

​

The solution? Better energy storage systems.
