SUMMARY: The South Carolina Senate has approved a bill to build a gas power plant to address energy supply shortages. The state’s population has grown rapidly, with a 90,600 increase in 2023, making it the fastest-growing state. Georgetown County Senator Steven Goldfinch emphasized the need for more energy to support growth, as projects in areas like Ory County are delayed due to energy shortages. After intense debates, the bill passed 38-3. Goldfinch hopes new plants will alleviate energy shortages and eliminate peak hour rates. He anticipates another power plant within the next three to five years.

It’s important because state officials say we need more energy as the area grows, the bill aims to produce more power supply as demand in the state skyrockets.

Trump shows support for Hegseth as second group chat scandal sparks outrage

www.youtube.com – WPDE ABC15 – 2025-04-22 10:37:28


SUMMARY: Trump has expressed support for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth amid backlash over a second group chat controversy involving sensitive military information. Hegseth blamed media reports and former staff for allegations regarding a chat where he allegedly discussed bombing plans in Yemen. The new revelations followed a previous incident where a journalist was included in another group chat with high-ranking officials. Democrats are demanding Hegseth’s resignation, citing his inability to manage sensitive information. Compounding the issue, a Google Drive folder with White House plans has reportedly been accessible to over 11,000 GSA employees, leading to cybersecurity investigations.
