“I don’t understand why our lawmakers haven’t done a better job of protecting us. This bill locks us into a future that is not good for North Carolina families.”

Well ... ^@$&. NCGA just overrode Stein's veto of S266, the Duke Energy giveaway bill. But we're not giving up - not on ratepayers or any North Carolinian who needs a healthy environment and economy. Read our statement & more sc.org/nclinks - and stay tuned for next steps!

BILLIONS for NOTHING! Take action, before it’s too late ➡️ nclcv.org/aa-tell-lawm...

Read the whole threat, but this kicker in particular. 👏

Duke Energy & NC lawmakers want ratepayers to cover construction costs while the utility dumps its pledge to cut carbon emissions by 2030. A Senate vote could happen as soon as Tuesday. Contact your NC senator NOW and tell them to vote NO on Senate Bill 266 act.sierraclub.org/actions/Nort...
