NC WARN WEBINAR: Understanding Duke Energy’s Political Power in NC

Duke Energy’s monopoly in North Carolina was not random— it was built, strengthened, and protected over time through political and regulatory decisions.

NC WARN invites you to join a webinar led by Sue Sturgis, Research and Communications Manager of the Energy & Policy Institute, to learn more about Duke Energy’s monopoly and political influence in North Carolina, how it affects our communities, and why meaningful change is possible.

Understanding Duke Energy’s Political Power in North Carolina with Sue Sturgis
Tuesday, August 18th, from 6:00-7:00 PM (ET)
Virtual Webinar, Zoom Link

Duke Energy is one of the largest utilities and the third-largest corporate polluter in the country. North Carolina’s regulatory system has long enabled the corporation to consolidate and exercise unprecedented political and economic power. Understanding who holds this power, and how that power developed, is an important part of challenging the status quo and building a more equitable, sustainable future.

We are honored to welcome Sue Sturgis as our featured speaker. Sue is an award-winning energy policy researcher and journalist who has spent decades investigating energy, climate, and environmental politics across the Southeast. Her reporting on environmental issues and nuclear energy security has earned national recognition, and she has been featured in documentary films and interviewed by numerous media outlets for her expertise.

Please register by August 18th, 12:00 PM (ET).
The webinar will be recorded and posted on the NC WARN YouTube channel.
