On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, the Georgia Public Service Commission voted 4-1 to give Georgia Power the ability to expand a power plant and buy more electricity from other utilities. This will enable the utility to provide power to an influx of businesses in the state. WABE climate reporter Emily Jones recaps the hearings and explains whether customers can expect to see any savings on their rising Georgia Power bills.

Also, in the latest feature from WABE’s Young Business Series, Reporter Julien Virgin shares the work of Hero Roofing CEO Nick Branon. The young entrepreneur in Newnan, Georgia discusses his journey through the multi-billion-dollar roofing industry and why roof repairs are his favorite part of the home improvement process.

Plus, we revisit our interview with Temple University Associate Professor and former journalist Andrea Wenzel. She recently published her book, "Antiracist Journalism: The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News." Wenzel shares her research about how communities of color believe they’ve been misrepresented by local news teams and highlights changes news organizations can make for fairer reporting.
