Now, Duke Energy has admitted once again to state regulators that it can’t back the PR with action.

Op-Ed by Jason West – With Hurricane Florence bearing down on the Carolinas, our attention is focused where it needs to be — evacuating the coast, stocking our shelves, and making plans to keep our families safe.
