White House environmental adviser visiting SC
BLYTHEWOOD -- President Barack Obama's chief environmental adviser is coming to South Carolina to tour businesses that match up with the president's goals for energy efficiency.
Nancy Sutley is chair of Obama's White House Council on Environmental Quality. The White House says she is in Blythewood on Monday to join South Carolina Energy Office director Ashlie Lancaster for a tour of PurePower, a company that makes high efficiency fuel injectors.
Sutley is also going with U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn to visit Jordan Johnson, an independent contractor who made his home more energy efficient with upgrades funded by an electric cooperative pilot program.
The officials are also visiting a biofuel production initiative at Claflin University. The White House says Clyburn secured $4 million in federal funding for that project.
