Cobb EMC members, energy groups thankful for coal plant withdrawal

Members of Cobb EMC, Cobb Alliance for Smart Energy and Georgians for Smart Energy will mark Valentine’s Day by delivering 1,000 Valentine thank-you letters to Cobb EMC on Tuesday.

The letters were written by EMC members and clean energy advocates thanking the Marietta co-op’s board for severing ties last month with a coalition of EMCs developing the Plant Washington coal plant in Sandersville, Ga. Cobb EMC have spent $13.5 million toward the plant’s development.
