Platform: Alternative energy Fossil fuels are a thing of the past. As Governor, I will push for South Carolina to become a world leader in alternative energy. According to a report by Clemson University: "The report indicates that the development of a 1 gigawatt offshore wind farm would support an average of 3,879 in-state jobs, annually contribute $366 million in output and $61.6 million in local and state government revenue. As previously mentioned, South Carolina’s wind resource is much greater than the 1 GW offered in Clemson’s scenario. If adequately robust transmission or storage infrastructure were developed, South Carolina could translate its offshore wind resource into a commodity and be a power exporter." - See more at: blog.cleanenergy.org/2012/10/08/clemson-report-reveals-economic-impact-of-wind-energy-in-sc/#sthash.rdWp4hrZ.dpuf
