Duke’s carbon plan: A great start, but unlikely to get NC where we need to go
“We will never have a better opportunity to transform North Carolina’s electric grid and get serious about combating climate change. All the elements for a successful Carbon Plan are in place – bipartisan legislation, shared goals and objectives, a rigorous planning process, and aligned stakeholders.
…
The stakes are high: A flawed Carbon Plan means a slower shift to clean energy jeopardizing our environment and future business growth. It will also place a higher cost burden on consumers who may already struggle to pay their energy bills.”
CMCL members John Gaertner (Steering Committee, Clean Energy & NC Carbon Plan Committee) and Jennifer Roberts (Steering Committee, Marketing & Engagement Committee) recently published an op-ed that was featured throughout the state and in The Charlotte Observer, Duke’s carbon plan: A great start, but unlikely to get NC where we need to go.
