A North Carolina town is suing utility Duke Energy over climate change

3. Thanks for sharing this, BRDS. ...

Two thoughts

1. Doug Kysar doesn't know North Carolinians very well because Duke Power doesn't enjoy a criticism free existence here especially in light of the coal sands leaks they hid for years and

2. The article states that, "The company generates most of its electricity by burning fossil fuels, which is the main driver of planetary warming."

The rest of that energy generation is done by burning wood chips manufactured by the logging industry.

This is appalling to me. First, because I hate seeing trees clear cut and not replanted.

Second, because those trees are essential to broad swaths of flora and fauna for habitat.

Third, it takes a long time to replace that resource.

Fourth, burning the chips also contributes to global warming and climate change.

And finally those trees absorbed CO2 and are being killed just so Duke can make a buck.

Nobody really believes anything they say because they have proven themselves to be enemies of the state and its resources time after time.

I imagine Doris Duke has spun in her grave so many times by now that she's probably tangled up in her funerary garb.

Thanks again for sharing this.
