The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that by the year 2030, 40% of Americans will live in the region that stretches from Texas to Virginia. Many of these new neighbors will look to Southern Company to serve their energy needs.rnAt Southern Company, we're poised to meet rising electricity demand by pursuing a balanced approach to energy. We continue to promote energy efficiency by working with our customers to reduce energy use in their homes and businesses. Natural gas, the fuel of choice for electric generation in recent years, remains an important option for us, as does renewable energy, like biomass and wind. We are planning to build new nuclear power -a clean, safe and economical form of generating electricity. We're also developing new technologies that will allow us to use coal, our nation's most abundant energy resource, in a cleaner, more efficient manner.
