By the end of this year, the NC Utilities Commission (NCUC) will publish a state Carbon Plan that is supposed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from North Carolina electricity generation 70% below 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Duke Energy’s approach to decarbonization involves very large amounts of new fracked gas infrastructure and new nukes, and woefully inadequate solar and storage capacity and energy-saving programs.
