Hands Off Beidler is where you go to save this swamp.

Let Santee Cooper electric company know you oppose cutting down a 125’ path through Beidler Forest for the first time in all of human history! Before European colonizers arrived, Four Holes Swamp was a hunting ground for the indigenous people of South Carolina. Then the waterlogged woodland became a reservation for the Edisto Natchez-Kusso and a refuge for people fleeing slavery, also known as “maroons.”

Stop the Edisto River Gas Plant and Pipeline

The follwing is an overview of the dire impacts this project will have if the gas plants are built.

Dominion Energy’s plans to build one of the highest capacity gas plants in the nation on the shores of the Edisto River and a new interstate pipeline through the ACE Basin are unacceptable.

This over $2.5 billion gas megaproject would emit a massive amount of greenhouse gas emissions, putting SC climate goals at risk. It would harm local communities with hazardous air pollutants. The new interstate pipeline would impact communities, wetlands, rivers, and forests across the Southeast, threatening the watersheds of the Lowcountry.

We as Dominion ratepayers oppose the gas project and demand Dominion Energy pursue proven alternatives such as solar and battery storage facilities for addressing SC energy needs.

Here is a link to an Action Network petition that goes directly to the Dominion SC President:
