Duke Energy’s $1 billion cleanup: Who would pay?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

It would be nice to see them admit that Greenpeace was correct to protest the power plant at Lake Julian in Arden and offer to contribute extra for their defense of inaction that led to the massive spill on the Dan River and the costs of cleaning up King Coal's filthy activities. Nah, they don't have that kind of personal responsibility when it comes to public health and the corporate welfare queens they adore.
You mean admit they were wrong? That's crazy talk, they were never wrong, not even once. They'll probably just continue paying their power bill, complaining about how the cost is going up again and be oblivious.

Such an amazing coincidence that Gov. Pat McCrory is in office while this is going on.

In RWNJ fundicongelical states like SC or NC, rate increases will be a done deal.
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

No question at all. Of course cleaning up the mess the company made shouldn't come out of their profits, that's just crazy. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses, the `merican way. The CEO will probably get a raise for this.
