Protesters gathered at the Governor’s mansion Saturday to send a message to Governor Josh Stein about climate concerns.
The event was organized by NC WARN, and more than a dozen other groups attended.
Duke Energy is catching heat from these groups with many demonstrators accusing the company of expanding fossil fuel and blocking the growth of solar power.
“Scientists have been calling for Governor Stein to step up and take decisive action and stop Duke Energy from expanding fossil fuels and preventing and blocking the growth of renewable power,” said Jim Warren with NC WARN. “People are hurting, and the nation is starving for somebody at the state level to step up on the climate crisis and cut back on these corporate polluters.
