Building People Power for Energy & Climate Justice Since 1988
We can no longer afford to keep boosting Duke Energy’s profits and polluting our environment. We need a strong leader to hold the corporation accountable and advocate for a cleaner energy future in North Carolina. Join this call at StopDukeEnergy.com 📣 #PeopleOverProfits
NC WARN@ncwarn.bsky.social · 2w agoDuke Energy PROFITS off of fossil fuels and nuclear power, which is why they want to keep expanding polluting power, rather than transitioning to cleaner, more affordable forms of energy.
Duke Energy PROFITS off of fossil fuels and nuclear power, which is why they want to keep expanding polluting power, rather than transitioning to cleaner, more affordable forms of energy.
Duke Energy wants us to believe that we need nuclear so they can continue building large, expensive power plants and profiting. Don’t fall for the propaganda. Wind and solar can, and should, lead our path to a clean energy future! Find the 2015 quote and article here: www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmc...

NC WARN@ncwarn.bsky.social · 2w agoAlthough from 2015, this quote by engineer Arnie Gunderson remains true to this day. The idea that a world free of fossil fuels must rely on nuclear power, as opposed to wind and solar, is a MYTH! Nuclear is dangerous, unreliable, and expensive, and we must envision a different energy future.

NY just became the first state to hit the brakes on data centers, with its governor signing an executive order to pause the construction of large-scale data centers statewide. Go to StopDukeEnergy.com to tell Gov. Stein we need a moratorium here in NC today!
Food & Water Watch@foodandwater.bsky.social · 3w ago🎉When we organize, we win!🎉 Yesterday marked a huge step forward in our work against Big Tech. Thanks to serious grassroots pressure, @governor.ny.gov signed an EO enacting a yearlong moratorium on hyperscale AI data centers! There's so much more work to do, but right now, we're celebrating!
The rest of the country recognizes that solar is cheaper and faster, so why is Duke planning the largest build-out of fracked gas and nuclear power? ➡️ To keep raising your rates and lining the pockets of its executives and investors. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Trump tried to kill renewables. They’re growing anyway.
Wind and solar generated more power than coal and nuclear during the first half of the year. Will that trend continue?
