From the North Carolina Conservation Network:
State rulemakers with the NC Utilities Commission want to know your opinion about plans for new large coal-burning plants in Cliffside, North Carolina. The hearings will be taking place in:
Charlotte, NC January 10th, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm [That’s what the page says, but I’d check all these times …]
Shelby, NC January 11th, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Raleigh, NC January 17th from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Just click on any of the above links to get more details about each hearing and to let us know you'll be attending. We'll send you detailed talking points and even a reminder to attend the hearing next month.
Need some reasons to come to one of the hearings? We'll give you 3,000,000,000. One of the key mandates for the Utility Commission is to consider the "least-cost option" for new directions in the state's energy plan. Duke Energy recently revised the estimated cost for building the Cliffside coal plants from $2 billion to $3 billion. The problem is that NC ratepayers will be paying the entire $3 billion for Duke Energy's new plant.
