SCSJ, Allies Demand Stronger Protections in Roxboro Gas Plant Air Permit
Briefly

Southern Coalition for Social Justice condemns Duke Energy's proposal to increase emissions, putting corporate profits over the well-being of low-income communities of color already suffering from pollution.
The move to introduce methane gas turbines at the Roxboro plant ignores the urgent need for cleaner energy solutions and reveals a lack of transparency in air quality data.
SCSJ demands a rejection of Duke Energy's application, prioritizing justice, public health, and sustainable practices, while ensuring binding retirement dates for coal-fired units to reduce emissions.
It's unacceptable that vulnerable communities are asked to trust air safety assurances while lacking access to crucial air quality information amidst escalating pollution risks.
