Carrboro's lawsuit against Duke Energy highlights the town's stand against the utility's historical operations contributing to climate change, seeking accountability for ongoing and future damages.
"We need to protect our community from future harms and this is why we find ourselves here as a plaintiff in this lawsuit," Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee stated.
"Our community floods fairly regularly as a result of the supercharged storms that are dumping large amounts of precipitation in short periods of time," Foushee explained.
"We know that the town could incur up to $60 million in damages in the coming years," Foushee mentioned regarding the financial impact of climate change.
