Lawsuit Targets Duke Energy’s Decades of Climate Deception, Harm to North Carolina Town
Center for Biological Diversity: CARRBORO, N.C.— The town of Carrboro sued Duke Energy Corp. today for the company’s decades-long role in a nationwide climate deception scheme that has worsened the climate crisis, harmed the community and cost the town millions of dollars. The lawsuit seeks to hold Duke Energy accountable for the damages inflicted on Carrboro by the corporation’s campaign to delay the transition from planet-heating fossil fuels to renewable energy.
Stefan Bohacek"The case opens a new front in the legal battles against oil and gas companies over climate and environmental issues. More than two dozen state and local governments, including California, have sued companies for their role in the climate crisis, making claims that the companies deceived the public in a quest for profit."
