Appalachian Voices: Carbon Hearing (Asheville)

North Carolina families deserve clean air and affordable clean energy. But for too long, companies like Duke Energy have gotten away with polluting our communities and charging us too much for electricity. It’s time to come together to build a clean energy system for our state that cuts pollution and leaves dirty fossil fuels behind.

The Carbon Plan was enacted in 2021 to serve as a roadmap for Duke Energy to meet the state’s future energy needs while eliminating carbon emissions by 2050. But since then, state regulators have let Duke Energy dictate the Carbon Plan’s terms. In March, the state will hold public hearings on Duke Energy’s updated Carbon Plan, which predictably falls short in protecting our communities and the environment by doubling down on expensive methane gas.

Your participation in these hearings is needed to help create a clean energy future in North Carolina!

This event is on Tuesday, March 17 at 7 pm.
