Governor Series - interview with SC Liutenant Governor and Gubnatorial Candidate Pamela Evette - Part 2 full 00:00 Powered by Guzzling Electric. Once again, Charlie James and Joey Hudson. 00:16 And good afternoon. This is the 98.9 WORD Governor Series. I'm Charlie James along with Joey Hudson. Special thanks to our friends at Gosling Electrical Services. We're being joined this afternoon by Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt who is running for Governor of South Carolina. Lieutenant Governor, thank you for being with us. South Carolina faces growing energy demand. have uh growing manufacturing facilities, population. Couple cities here in the upstate of South Carolina, the fastest growing cities. 00:45 in the state, what's your plan to keep energy affordable and reliable over the next decade? Well that is something that I've been really focused on for the last few years. I've traveled around the country with RSLC talking on panels about energy and know energy security is national security. think last year with the energy bill that was passed that was a great kind of shot in the arm for us here in South Carolina. 01:11 Right now today, South Carolina, 58 % of our energy has gotten through nuclear. And so the resurrection of VC Summer was a great thing. All of it being done with private equity dollars, so not going to the rate payers, which is, that was a must after what had happened prior. Brookfield was in my office. Probably, again, my weeks all are merging together, probably about four or five weeks ago. 01:39 And you know, they're saying six to six and a half years, we'll have that up and running two reactors going to four. We have the possibility to six reactors. We have six licenses here in the state. It would be a game changer for us as a state. Turning our coal plants into natural gas plants, something that I'm, something I've really liked, gentlemen, I have loved being Lieutenant Governor because I have been able to travel the state and sit with people and find out what's affecting people. 02:08 in their area, you know, in real time, and that's important. So I was doing a roundtable uh down in Myrtle Beach, and there was a developer there that was talking about the pipeline, and he said to me, he said, Lieutenant Governor, you know, we really didn't, we missed the ball with that piece of legislation. I was like, what part of it? And he said, well, we don't have an increased pipe coming into Horry County. 02:36 And with that means that we can't build vertical, you know, we have an energy problem, people are having to resort to propane, we're having, you know, there's gonna be tanks above ground everywhere, it's gonna be an eyesore. And I was like, that was the first time I had ever heard that. Went back to Columbia, did some research, talked to my friends on that committee, and here, the bill to actually... 03:01 Well, it was a lawsuit that was brought, but it was sitting on one of the Supreme Court justice's desks. It just hadn't been signed yet. That got signed, and a few weeks ago, I was standing out at the site where they were putting in the bigger line, actually to go through Georgetown, through Horry County, Myrtle Beach to North Myrtle Beach, um to actually deliver them the energy they need. That is really important as we grow. 03:25 especially with the careers of tomorrow, I believe we're in the middle of an industrial revolution when it comes to what are the careers of tomorrow gonna look like. And as your next governor, I am really focused on one, how do we have the energy we need to do that, which means we have to put things like expanding nuclear on the table, making sure we have enough natural gas to uh support dispatchable energy. um 03:51 And then making sure that our K through 12 system and our higher education system is prepared to um create that workforce. We cannot be behind the eight ball with this because things are changing fast. But energy is going to play a key role into our growth, the type of industries that can come here. And the fact that we are diversifying in that, Joey, ... 1498 Tue, 19 May 2026 21:04:00 +0000 jFrqxitKNRrFAGkKnCwVLVTJQPr5sc5I news The Charlie James Show Podcast news Governor Series - interview with SC Liutenant Governor and Gubnatorial Candidate Pamela Evette - Part 2 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

WHY NUCLEAR POWER SUCKS!   This breakthrough full-hour interview conducted by the legendary activist CAMILLA REES lays out—from bottom to top—why nuclear power has no role to play in saving our Earth from Global Boiling.   With your host HARVEY WASSERMAN, Camilla runs us through the full array of atomic issues, from health and safety to the economic, engineering and ecological disarray that has doomed this industry.   From the first Chair of the Atomic Energy Commission Lewis Strauss (the “bad guy” in “Oppenheimer”) promising energy “too cheap to meter”…. to the catastrophic $10 billion disaster at VC Summer, nuke power has been an unparalleled failure.   While confronting our “Global Boiling” imperative to slash heat and carbon emissions, nuke power makes both significantly worse.     On the other hand, 100% green SOLARTOPIAN energy keeps getting stronger, cheaper, more powerful, more job-creating, more unavoidable.   Under Camilla's erudite questioning, Harvey lays out a comprehensive, irrefutable case for shutting all atomic reactors and moving straight to a 100% sustainable energy future based on wind, solar, batteries, efficiency and more.   No nukes, everybody!

Debtwire reporter Caitlin Devitt looks at two charter schools in Arizona, American Leadership Academy and Odyssey. The former spent more than expected this year while the latter expects to see a small boost in funding next year. Caitlin also talks about Ohio-based Better Housing Foundation which filed for Chapter 11 protection for one of their housing portfolios. Debtwire's Patrick Ferguson discusses the latest on South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) with bids in to purchase the public utility as well as the settlement over assets at the defunct VC Summer nuclear project. Yong Lim, the Debtwire Municipals desk editor, is the moderator of the podcast.

For the past several years the issue that’s dominated the state legislature has been the future of Santee Cooper, the state-owned public power utility. Santee Cooper in effect produces electricity for over two million customers in the state. State lawmakers have been pondering what to do with the utility since the failure of the giant VC Summer nuclear project in the summer of 2017. Many have concerns about Santee Cooper’s Management, and the almost $7 Billion debt it's now carrying following VC Summer. The question is so large that last year the legislature passed a special joint resolution that laid-out just how it would go about making its' decision. It charged the state’s Department of Administration with securing bids from potential buyers or operators. After spending $15 Million on banking, legal and utility industry experts, DOA this week passed along the best three offers to be considered.
