Abstract:
Duke Energy has contracted with Green Meadow LLC to take possession of its coal ash. If the ash contaminates the environment at its new dump sites, Green Meadow LLC would be responsible for the mess, not Duke. If Green Meadow LLC cannot pay the fines, then the state and local residents will be responsible for cleaning up the mess. Residents of Moncure, NC, Chatham County, and Lee County are all concerned with the ethics of the deal and the site of the ash dump. The details of the proposed plan and its effects are discussed in-depth.

Abstract:
Duke Energy has a monopoly on power in North Carolina and pushes for offshore drilling, but many residents hope solar power is in the near future, if Duke Energy does not push against solar power. Perhaps it is best to break Duke Energy's stronghold on energy in North Carolina.

Abstract:
On February 2, a retired coal plant, operated by Duke Energy in Eden, began leaking approximately 30,000 tons of toxic coal ash into the Dan River. It was the third largest of its kind in the country's history. The river, a vital drinking source for Virginia and North Carolina towns, may have been polluted with heavy metals such as arsenic. Ball reports on a February meeting of the NC Genial Assembly's Environmental Review Commission. Among the points raised was the question--\"Who is going to pay for the cleanup?\" A complicating factor in the fallout following the spill is that Governor Pat McCrory worked thirty years for the company that caused the spill.

Abstract:
On February 2, 2014, a storage pond at a retired Duke Energy coal-fired power plant in Eden poured over 2.35 million gallons of toxic water and about 39,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River--the third-largest coal-ash spill in the nation's history. A complicating factor in the fallout following the spill is that Governor Pat McCrory worked thirty years for the company that caused the spill. Mooneyham speculates how this will affect the race for Governor in 2016.

Abstract:
Duke Energy and ConocoPhillips have donated 3.5 million dollars to Duke University’s Climate Change Policy Partnership (CCPP) and that financial support may have influenced public policy. The money may have influenced members of the CCPP’s advisory panel and affected its the ability to vet climate policy research before it is released to the public. Anti-regulatory policy statements have been published under the CCPP’s name and critics say that its research has been skewed because of the two companies support.
