Bill Pekny uses a monitor to check carbon dioxide levels outside of his home in Midway on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021. Pekny is a local author and scientist and agrees the climate is warming, but he says that we are in a normal cycle of warming and panic is unwarranted.

I. Issue Summary
On March 16, 2021, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) issued a notice regarding a technical conference inviting comments on matters related to electric reliability threats posed by climate change and extreme weather events.[1] [1] The conference will be held from June 1 to June 2, 2021 with pre-conference comments due by April 15, 2021.
II. Summary of R Street Position
Climate change adaptation is a societal risk management exercise. Independently, electric reliability policy has evolved toward a risk management framework. As such, it is important to accurately fuse characteristics of climate risk into the evolving risk-based electric reliability framework. Overlaying climate risk onto the preexisting and potential future configurations of reliability risk frameworks helps inform policy makers in revising current policies, protocols, and inputs in a manner that maximizes net benefits to society.

South Carolina was spared the worst of Hurricane Florence’s fury when the storm made landfall in North Carolina on September 14, but did not escape its catastrophic impacts. Nearly two weeks later, the state was still contending with historic flooding.

Florence lingered over the Carolinas, dumping more than 30 inches of rain in some areas. Five rivers and the IntraCoastal Waterway crested several feet above major flood stage, resulting in flooding that will last for weeks to come in parts of South Carolina. Cities and towns on its northern coast are experiencing the worst of it, where standing water remains in buildings along the Intracoastal Waterway and near riverbanks deep into the Carolinas.
