and people of faith across North Carolina are calling on Duke Energy to act on their moral obligation to clean up toxic coal ash pollution and move beyond coal now. Wednesday, April 30 at 7:30pm - 8:30pm Duke Energy Headquarters, 550 South Tryon St, Charlotte, NC Join us on the eve of the annual shareholder meeting to remind Duke Energy and the company’s shareholders that the nation’s largest utility company has failed us. North Carolina needs an energy company we can be proud of and shareholders need a company they can be proud of. Right now, Duke Energy fails on both counts. The coal ash spill reminded us that Duke has too many outdated, dirty coal plants threatening our air, water and public health. Duke Energy’s got its priorities wrong. Decades of illegal coal ash pollution has taken a toll on all of us and our rivers, lakes and streams. Low-income communities have paid too high a price for Duke Energy’s coal ash waste, paying with contaminated drinking water and pollution From the Dan River coal ash spill to plans to crush small-scale solar in North Carolina, Duke Energy has driven too far down the wrong road, but there’s still time to change course. Join us as we work to move beyond coal in North Carolina and shift boldly to solar power, wind energy and the full suite of clean energy solutions that create jobs while protecting our people, our health and our environment. Join us as we Light the Path Forward at a candlelight vigil to remember the impacts of coal ash Make plans to also join the Duke Energy Shareholder Meeting Rally and Press Conference on Thursday, May 1st.8:30 AM arrive and set up for 9:00 AM rally and press conference.Located at the former Duke Energy headquarters, 526 South Church St, Charlotte, NC (location of shareholder meeting).
