Tell the North Carolina Utilities Commission: Duke's carbon plan doesn't cut it

Dear North Carolina Utilities Commission,

For decades, we have had the power to harness clean, abundant energy from the sun and the wind. In 2022, it can be done more efficiently and cheaply than ever before.

As the North Carolina Utilities Commission considers the adoption of a state carbon reduction plan, it should ensure that any plan adopted meets the target deadline of 70% reduction by 2030 and moves our state towards a cleaner, greener future.

We, the undersigned, encourage the commission to prioritize the following, in its consideration and/or creation of a carbon reduction plan that works for our state:

1) No new gas (including "natural" gas)
2) Join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
3) Go big on investments in solar and protect net metering
4) Speed up the timeline for offshore wind investments
5) And avoid the regrettable substitution of nuclear power

A cleaner, greener future is possible, but only if we move quickly. Ultimately it is within the power of your commission to decide how we best move towards a clean energy future. That is why it is essential the commission only consider adopting plans that meet the 2030 target and consider these proposed actions to ensure we do so.

Sincerely,
