They're using the heat to sell you a revolution.

The heat of summer is the perfect time for well-funded green energy special interests to sell the globalist agenda to the citizens of Georgia. A special meeting was called by city leaders in conjunction with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and the Climate Action Campaign of Georgia to demand the state abandon fossil fuels entirely.

District 4 Alderman Nick Palumbo delivered the line they'd clearly been workshopping for weeks: "There's a freight train coming down the tracks, and it's pulling two cars. The first car is the heat, the second car is the bill and Savannah families are about to get hit with both."

It's a vivid image. It's also dishonest. The freight train isn't the weather. It's the policy they're selling.

Stephen Smith, Executive Director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, told the crowd that Georgia's approach to generating power is driving up utility bills and that moving to renewables would fix that. That claim deserves scrutiny. Everywhere in the country where politicians have rushed the transition to wind and solar — California, New York, Germany — energy prices went up, not down. Reliability went down too. The states that kept fossil fuels in the mix are the ones whose families can actually afford to run their air conditioning.

Georgia Public Service Commissioner Peter Hubbard joined in, calling for a move off fossil fuels as the solution to both the heat and the bills. Hubbard is a public servant who answers to Georgia ratepayers. He should be telling them the truth: there is no peer-reviewed evidence that eliminating natural gas from Georgia's energy grid would lower bills. There is substantial evidence it would raise them.

Palumbo closed with this: "All the energy produced out there today by the sun can power our machinery, our homes, our air conditioning, if we just set our mind to it." That is not energy policy. That is a bumper sticker.

Georgia families do not need a sermon about the sun. They need affordable, reliable power — the kind that works when the grid is stressed, when demand peaks, when the clouds roll in, and when the wind stops blowing. That is what fossil fuels have delivered for generations in this state.

The real issue isn't the heat. Georgia summers have always been brutal. The issue is that a well-funded national advocacy network — the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is based in Asheville, North Carolina, not Savannah — is using local officials as props to advance a federal policy agenda that would restructure Georgia's energy economy, raise costs for working families, and hand the transition profits to the green energy industry.

I've seen this playbook in cities across this country. They call it a crisis. They blame fossil fuels. They promise lower bills. They never deliver. And then they move on to the next city while your utility bill keeps climbing.

Savannah deserves better than that.
