    For sure…but it’s being run as an ad, and people are absolutely awful at telling the difference between this kind of ad and editorial content, even when it’s plainly labeled.

      So is the critique for Southern Company for writing some marketing material, or for The Atlantic for running an ad about it?

        For the Atlantic for being willing to run it in a format that confuses readers, the Public Utilities Commissions in the states where the Southern Company operates for letting the Southern Company do this kind of thing with ratepayer money, and the Southern Company itself for trying to mislead people.
