Pushing for a Real Energy Plan in N.C.

We are standing with citizens from across North Carolina advocating for a strong state Clean Power Plan at public hearings and through outreach to state decision-makers.

The state is well-positioned to meet the goals set forth in the federal government’s carbon regulations by building on the state’s solar and energy efficiency advances. Yet instead of drafting a realistic plan, the N.C.

North Carolinians deserve better.
