Seniors Group Calls Out Energy Activist Group, Runs Ads

Generation America, a national group representing conservative seniors, today
launched a new campaign to warn seniors about the price of activism by the Southern
Alliance for Clean Energy and that organizations lobbyist, Susan Glickman.

In 2010, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and Susan Glickman fought for a new
biomass power plant in Gainesville, pressuring that communitys leaders to create
electricity from biomass rather than natural gas. The people of Gainesville now pay the
highest electric rates in the entire state of Florida.

The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and Susan Glickman got the power plant they
wanted, and now seniors in Gainesville are paying more than they should for electricity,
says Conwell Hooper, Director of Advocacy for Generation America. Floridas seniors
and the leaders who represent them need to understand that these groups cannot be
trusted to protect the needs of customers.

Why did the group pressure ofcials to build the plant? Records show that the San
Francisco-based Energy Foundation paid the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy
$150,000 to push biomass in Florida.

The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy didnt argue so passionately for a costly new
biomass plant in Gainesville because it was good for customers, Hooper states. They
were paid by liberal interests in San Francisco to do it.

As part of Generation Americas efforts to alert seniors, the group is running radio and
newspapers ads in the Gainesville market. The ads educate seniors about the Southern
Alliance for Clean Energys activism in Gainesville and the consequences to customers.

Generation America is a conservative organization that represents seniors across
Alabama and and the United States.
