Keeping up with environment news from South Carolina

AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Drought Watch: South Carolina is in severe drought statewide—98% of land area affected—so Memorial Day fireworks and outdoor flames are a real wildfire risk as summer-like heat moves in. Waterway Cleanup: SCDNR removed a 60-foot abandoned barge from the Lowcountry near Wappoo Cut, calling it both an environmental threat to marshes and a navigation hazard for boaters. Food & Farming Branding: The National Peanut Board is rolling out a new “It’s Not Nuts. It’s Peanuts.” campaign, pitching peanuts as a distinct, sustainable category and highlighting South Carolina as a top growing state. Energy Industry: NextEra and Dominion announced a $67B merger to form the largest regulated utility, with approvals needed in states including South Carolina—raising fresh questions about affordability as data centers drive demand. Local Tech Growth: York County Council advanced its FY27 budget while deferring a $1.4M mobile command vehicle, as public comments also targeted data center impacts.
