John,
Rarely does anything good come from behind closed doors.
For months, there were rumors Duke Energy was scheming with a small group of legislators to concoct a secret energy bill. No one knew what was in it, but we had a feeling it wouldn’t be good.
And we were right.
Now that it’s in the light, we must fight. Click here to email your representative »
House Bill 951 does too little to advance solar, wind, and energy efficiency, and doesn’t meet the carbon reduction goals in Gov. Cooper’s Clean Energy Plan. With the country baking at record temperatures and suffering unprecedented drought, it’s never been clearer we need urgent action on climate.
But as usual, politicians care more about protecting polluter profits than people. This bill isn’t good enough. We need a comprehensive energy bill that meets the moment and is developed with public input.
This bill would direct Duke to replace coal power plants with natural gas, locking in more fossil fuels for decades and sticking you with the bill when those plants aren’t even in use anymore.
They could reap an extra $5 billion on the backs of those who can least afford it, and the bill would take away some of the state Utilities Commission’s power to hold them accountable.
Legislators are trying to put this bill on the fast track, and we need to derail it.
Thanks for taking action,
Dan Crawford, Director of Governmental Relations
