Advocates complete ban on off-shore drilling

The first piece of legislation I filed as a state lawmaker was an anti-offshore drilling measure. Preserving our land is a top issue for me. South Carolina needs a voice that can work side by side with the current administration in building consensus among members of both political parties. We will never ban offshore drilling at the federal level if we do not have someone who can lead on this issue in a bipartisan manner. Oil drilling and seismic testing have no place on our coastline.

Supported SC Energy Freedom Act promoting solar power

H3659: SC Energy Freedom Act

EnergyNews.US in favor: The recently passed Energy Freedom Act supports a more resilient, clean energy future for South Carolina by supporting solar PV and battery storage technologies. The act promotes more economical systems for utility customers and requires utilities to explore the investments in solar-plus-storage generation assets.

A.C.U. in opposition: This bill contains a key provision that drives up electricity costs by expanding a program known as "net metering" which subsidizes solar producers. Under the program, utility companies are forced to purchase excess electricity from solar energy producers at above-market rates and infrastructure and delivery costs are transferred to other ratepayers.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 40-0-0, Roll Call #400 on May/8/19; Passed House 103-0-20, Roll Call #669 on May/9/19; State Rep. Nancy Mace co-sponsor bill & voted YES; Signed by Gov. McMaster 5/16/19,
