South Carolina's House has passed H.5118, the Energy Security Act, aiming to transform the state's energy policies over the next decade. The bill, supported by the Chamber of Commerce and facing opposition from environmental and consumer groups, proposes changes to the Public Service Commission, a pilot program for small modular nuclear reactors, and a 10-year energy plan by the Office of Regulatory Staff. Critics argue it may undermine consumer protections and have environmental impacts.
