🚨 The cost of Duke Energy’s expansion of fossil fuels and suppression of renewables is not only financial, but also physical and ecological. Tell Stein North Carolinians shouldn’t have to pay the price at StopDukeEnergy.com!

☀️ Instead of NC becoming a climate leader, Duke Energy’s massive planned expansion of polluting power and its suppression of renewables has caused our state to fall behind in the global clean energy transition. open.substack.com/pub/ncwarn…

Climate advocacy group NC WARN also raised concerns about the proposal. "You know, last year, Duke reported a record $5 billion in profits, while many North Carolinians are really struggling to pay for their electric bills," said Sara Heilman of NC WARN. abc11.com/post/nc-attorney-g…

"We understand the connection and correlation between requested rate increases and Duke Energy's business model, which really serves to profit its executives and shareholders at the expense of affordability for North Carolinians."- Sara Heilman, Clean Energy Strategist with NCW

Did you know that the diesel backup generators often used by hyperscale data centers emit harmful air pollutants at levels 200-600 TIMES higher than fracked gas plants? 😳 Factory farm air pollution already harms rural communities – we can’t let Big Tech make the problem worse!

Duke Energy PROFITS off of fossil fuels and nuclear power, which is why they want to keep expanding polluting power, rather than transitioning to cleaner, more affordable forms of energy.

**NOTE: Duke Energy has recently reduced its ask for a Return on Equity increase from 10.95% to 9.8% following the intervention of AG Jeff Jackson. This increase is still too high, and Jackson agrees.

Although from 2015, this quote by engineer Arnie Gunderson remains true. The idea that a world free of fossil fuels must rely on nuclear, as opposed to wind and solar, is a MYTH! Nuclear is dangerous, unreliable, and expensive, and we must envision a different energy future.

Duke Energy wants us to believe that we need nuclear so they can continue building large, expensive power plants and profiting. Don’t fall for the propaganda ❌ Wind and solar can, and should, lead our path to a clean energy future!
