The Environment 

To generate the electricity we need, electric companies must harness the earth’s natural resources.  We recognize that our operations can have impacts on the environment, so we work diligently to use resources efficiently as we meet the ever-growing demands for power. And, we are always searching for new and innovative ways to generate electricity—and to Use It Wisely—while also protecting the environment.
