In this mention
Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, critiques Duke Energy's leadership following its merger with Progress Energy, highlighting failures in coal ash management, cost-shifting from the Crystal River nuclear closure, opposition to solar net metering, and underperformance on energy efficiency commitments. Smith argues Duke is clinging to an outdated utility business model rather than embracing clean energy advancement.
