How to keep the lights on in the future: Duke, environmentalists jostle over future grid

In this mention

Duke Energy and environmental groups clash over North Carolina's carbon-reduction strategy following the state's 2021 commitment to reduce emissions 70% by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Maggie Shober of SACE argues that new natural gas infrastructure is unnecessary and risky, while Duke officials defend a continued role for natural gas alongside renewables to maintain grid reliability and affordability. The N.C. Utilities Commission is scheduled to decide on a final plan by year-end.
