Despite Georgia being a sun-soaked state and the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) being less for solar (and wind) than gas turbines, these assholes will be adding double the amount of natural gas generation (https://www.georgiapower.com/about/energy/plants.html) than is still deployed in Georgia. I don't know how you can get more dystopian than that, but hey, it's the United States, which has a buffoon for a leader and no plans to stop global warming — "drill baby drill".

Solar and wind needs buffers to be dispatchable. Which is why gas.
