YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCarrboro, NC sued Duke Energy for intentionally spreading false information about the negative effects of fossil fuels for decades, despite knowing since the late 1960s about planet-warming properties of carbon dioxide emissions. It claims the power company funded trade organizations and climate skeptic scientists who created doubts about the greenhouse effect and obstructed policy and public action on climate change.
“Duke misled the public concerning the causes and consequences of climate change and thereby materially slowed the transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy. Duke’s deception campaign served to protect its fossil fuel-based business model.” the lawsuit reads.
I will interview Carborro Mayor Barbara Foushee and Jim Warren, Executive Director of NC WARN, a climate action groups who has been dogging Duje Energy for years.
