Straight Arrow News: NC town’s lawsuit accuses Duke Energy of climate change deception

A North Carolina town is suing utility giant Duke Energy, accusing the company of deceiving the public on climate change. It is the first U.S. lawsuit seeking climate accountability from an electric company.

The town of Carrboro announced Wednesday, Dec. 4, that it had filed the lawsuit. They argue the company’s actions led to a delay in addressing climate change, which in turn made fixing the problem more expensive.
