Last year, state lawmakers rolled back North Carolina’s short-term climate goal. Now, Duke Energy projects emissions will continue to rise before somehow falling by 2050.

WFAE reports that Kristina Costa of the University of Chicago calls this “magical thinking.”

NC says climate pollution is “lowest in decades.” Not true.

Duke counts CO2 but ignores super-potent methane gas. Now it plans more gas plants leading to more pollution and higher bills 📈

Last week, the EPA rescinded the government’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases. People at the state level must change leading polluters like Duke Energy, which is planning the largest gas buildout of any US corp. We need state leaders like Gov. Stein to lead the charge!

A North Carolina business court judge dismissed a groundbreaking climate lawsuit filed by the Town of Carrboro against Duke Energy Corporation in December 2024. While we are disappointed and disagree with the result, Carrboro is evaluating all of its options, including appeal.

New analysis finds Duke spent $8.9B on failed nuclear projects | Port City Daily NORTH CAROLINA — A renewable energy advocacy group is urging Gov. Josh Stein to oppose legislation that would allow Duke Energy to charge customers upfront costs for new power plants.

An analysis by the climate advocacy group NC Warn found that Duke Energy has canceled or closed early 19 nuclear reactor projects since the 1970s, costing at least $8.9 billion. The findings come as NC lawmakers consider legislation that would increase the risk of this happening again.
