Duke's Energy Policy: The Plan, Criticism, and Future of Energy in North Carolina

WRAL-TV ON THE RECORD, January 25, 2020 / Focused on an issue that affects every single North Carolinian, energy. How we get it, how we pay for it and how reliable it will be in the future. Duke Energy recently announced a new climate strategy. Among our guests are Vice President of Duke's Energy Policy, Diane Denton, to discuss the plan, the criticism and the future of energy in North Carolina. Followed by Southern Environmental Law Center attorney Gudrun Thompson and Dr. Drew Shindell (Climate Scientist, Duke University) who reinforce the stance that Duke Energy needs to stop building fracked ("natural") gas power plants and the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dr. Shindell makes the case that solar paired with battery storage is environmentally and economically better than gas.
