Duke Energy's Carbon Plan prioritizes profits over people, leaving the state's most vulnerable to suffer from health impacts and soaring energy bills, said James Huey, Counsel for Environmental Justice at SCSJ.
The proposed plants create overwhelming and, yet, avoidable health costs for communities who are already disproportionately suffering from environmental injustices. Duke is gambling on hydrogen energy, while ratepayers will have to pay the bill.
Duke is overinvesting in an energy source without any proven or reliable way of producing, transporting, or relying on it, guaranteeing profits on capital investments.
Duke is rolling the dice on North Carolina's future - and ratepayers in impacted communities will have to foot the bill for its unproven predictions and unreliable technologies.
