On this episode, we sit down with three experts in the clean energy sphere to talk about Duke Energy's proposed Carbon Plan filed at the NC Utilities Commission. In the conversation, Maggie Shober of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, highlights the plan's over reliance on technologies not yet commercially available, and its proposals to build out new natural gas resources. Claire Williamson, joining from the NC Justice Center, elevates the lack of considerations for low- and moderate-income ratepayers, often left behind in utility planning conversations. Eddy Moore from the Coastal Conservation League, helps to contextualize the plan by providing updates from South Carolina and potential implications on the region. You don't want to miss this well-rounded discussion on the path to decarbonization and increasing importance of cross-sector collaboration as clean energy advocates prepare their own Carbon Plan modeling by July 16th.
