The Town of Carrboro filed a lawsuit against Duke Energy over the company’s role in advancing climate change and delayed transition away from fossil fuels. N.C. WARN and the Center for Biological Diversity are advising the Town on the case.
In a resolution passed on Tuesday evening, the Town Council approved the lawsuit’s filing. The Town filed a complaint on Wednesday morning in the Orange County Superior Court. Carrboro is the first town in the country to challenge an electric utility for deceiving the public about the damages of fossil fuels, Mayor Barbara Foushee said at a Town press conference on Wednesday.
