1. My book Democracy in Power is out today! It examines the history of cooperative and public power in the United States and lays out one possible future. I’m indebted to so many people for their encouragement, support, and wisdom. I’ll highlight a few. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

WHOA! A North Carolina town is suing Duke Energy for climate deception! This is the first climate lawsuit to take on an electric utility. Duke is one of the largest sources of GHG emissions in the country. #MakePollutersPay npr.org/2024/12/04/nx-…

These are the sorts of ads electric utility front groups were running in the 90s to “reposition global warming as a theory (not fact).” Even though they all knew climate change was real. No wonder they’re now facing lawsuits for lying to the public.

BREAKING: 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. bit.ly/4eZmgn7

NC WARN is proud to support Carrboro, NC and Center for Biological Diversity in a lawsuit filed against Duke Energy for delaying the fossil fuel transition and misleading the public on climate risks. Learn more: SueDukeEnergy.org #SueDukeEnergy Sue Duke Energy

In a first of its kind lawsuit, the Town of Carrboro is suing Duke Energy for both contributing to climate change and downplaying the impact of fossil fuels, despite evidence the utility knew about their harm since the 1960s. wsoctv.com/news/local/tow…

Electric utility companies lied for years about the environmental impacts of their fossil fuel business. Will they finally be held accountable by this climate deception lawsuit? vist.ly/3mpsxj3 h/t Jean Su 蘇安君 for the leadership and Mario Ariza for the story!

On the new US NDC: It’s good to see a somewhat more ambitious pledge, but it’ll be up to states and other national leaders to defy Trump and move us quickly away from planet-heating fossil fuels. unfccc.int/sites/default/…

The fossil-fuel-captured utility industry shamelessly thrusts its customers onto the frontlines of the climate catastrophe and into the depths of energy poverty to make a quick buck! Read the latest report by @CenterforBioDiv to learn more ➡️ biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-r…

These utilities have shamelessly pursued at least $3.5 billion in rate increase from 2023 through 2027—skyrocketing energy bills will trap even more families in a dangerous web of debt and energy poverty.

These exploitative tactics result in massive profits for utility companies. American families have a right to electricity and deserve a utility system predicated on affordability, equity, and climate resilience—instead, they're captive to a system that puts profit over people!
