Media finally gets it! ‘Duke Energy is transitioning away from coal. It means power bills are becoming more expensive’

Marc Morano comment: Duke Energy spokesman calls gutting reliable coal power -- "improvements" to the grid. Yet they are virtually signaling to political mandates for Net Zero. As utilities close down reliable fossil fuel energy generation, they claim unspecified "benefits" to the "transitions." In the video, Tesla home generator batteries are touted for the inevitable blackouts coming. Ideologies, politicians, activists, and colluding corporations and utilities are monkeying around with our once reliable grid due to climate politics. Then they offer some customer 'rebates,' 'incentives', & 'subsidiy' programs that are supposed to alleviate the constantly rising energy prices. This is an insane process that needs to stop, and Duke Energy spokesmen need a remedial education on how to speak to the public and stop lying about green energy 'improvements' to the grid. At the same time, they collude and do their part to sabotage the grid.

Just a few months earlier, the commission allowed a rate increase of 5.8% on Duke Energy Progress customers starting Oct. 1, 2023. Customers under both Duke branches will see additional rate increases of more than 3% each of the next two years.

When Duke has asked the North Carolina Utilities Commission to raise your electric rates, that’s one of the reasons they cite, and it’s not expected to stop. “It’s an ongoing process,” said Duke Energy Spokesperson Bill Norton…
