"We're a very bold group," Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee told Floodlight. "And we know how urgent this climate crisis is."
The lawsuit claims Duke's actions stalled the transition to clean energy and exacerbated the climate crisis.
The suit accuses Duke Energy of intentionally spreading false information about the negative effects of fossil fuels, despite knowing about the planet-warming properties of carbon dioxide emissions since the late 1960s.
Duke misled the public concerning the causes and consequences of climate change and thereby materially slowed the transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy.
