Georgia depends heavily on fossil fuels, particularly coal, to meet its energy needs and is also home to two large nuclear power plants.  Renewable energy sources are a growing popularity in the state.  The first major wind plant in the southeast U.S is planned for a site off the coast of Savannah, while huge investments have been made for the use of renewable biomass, providing a sizeable portion of the state’s electricity generation.
