The article examines Duke Energy's corporate political contributions flowing to both Republican and Democratic political organizations in North Carolina's 2024 gubernatorial race. It highlights Duke's $630,000 donation to the Republican Governors Association since 2020, which has funded attack ads against Attorney General Josh Stein on behalf of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is referenced for reporting that Robinson denies climate change while Stein has championed carbon emission reductions and coal plant retirement.

Robinson has repeatedly denied the reality of climate change and called climate science, 'lies,' 'junk science,' and 'pseudoscience,' and referred to science educators as 'liars.'
