The NC House has just passed a “Thom Tillis-Duke Energy Burn the Public” coal ash bill.
The bill leaves North Carolinians at the mercy of two regulators — DENR and the Utilities Commission — that have sorry track records of backroom dealing with Duke Energy on issues involving safety and electric rate fairness.
There will be very little clean-up, but the public will likely pay billions as Duke turns coal ash failure into a profit center.
