Despite the North Carolina General Assembly’s mandate to reduce carbon emissions by 70% before 2030, Duke Energy and Dominion Energy are digging their heels–and our pocketbooks–into fossil fuels.

Tell the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality that we say NO to more gas!»

John,

Despite the North Carolina General Assembly’s mandate to reduce carbon emissions by 70% before 2030, Duke Energy and Dominion Energy continue to dig their heels in fossil fuels. 

Dominion has submitted plans to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality for a methane gas storage facility called the Moriah Energy Center. Dominion plans to store over 25 million tons of liquefied methane gas here. 

This center alone could emit 65,579 tons of greenhouse gasses each year according to Dominion’s calculations. That is equivalent to the emissions of 14,500+ gas-powered cars for one year according to the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. 

This facility is just one part of the plan to expand Duke and Dominion’s hold over North Carolina’s energy future and further cement us into fossil fuels. And why do Duke and Dominion want more gas? More expensive infrastructure means more money in these utilities’ pockets and less in yours.

Sign the petition
 
By building out gas, Duke and Dominion are putting profits over people and are once again failing to abide by the law. Any action we take to hold them accountable will protect our families and communities.
 
Thanks for your action,
