Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell called for the committee to begin immediate work on addressing South Carolina’s energy needs.
“I believe responsibility lies with our General Assembly to conduct research, hold hearings, and act when it comes to policy that will put our state among the winners both as to energy supply and environmental stewardship,” McConnell, R-Charleston, said in a statement.
Oral testimony will be accepted at a future committee meeting.
