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. It was the third-largest coal-ash spill in the nation's history. Martin recounts events before and after the spill. A map locates the fourteen sites where Duke Energy stores 106 million tons of coal-ash; some plants are active and some are retired. Cleaning up the coal-ash ponds could cost customers over $1 billion.

Abstract:
Duke Energy Corporation merged with Progress Energy earlier this year but has already fired CEO Bill Johnson. This along with recently divulged industry secrets leads some skeptics to believe the goal of the merger is not to pass savings onto customers but enhance the company's ability to pursue nuclear facilities.

Abstract:
\"The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources knew since last August (2013) that Duke Energy was illegally polluting the Dan River with coal ash, yet the agency did nothing about it.\" That proved disastrous when in February 2014 it was discovered that the ash pond at Duke Energy's Eden retired plant, was leaking 30,000-39,000 tons of coal ash and other contaminants into the river. The disaster has come under federal investigation, although the details have not been released. \"It is thought that the probe will focus on how DENR used the federal Clean Water Act to run interference for Duke Energy.\"

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) knew that Duke Energy was polluting the Dan River and did nothing to stop it. The DENR and Duke Energy are now under federal investigation. Observers believe the DENR let the spill go as it is the EPA’s job to enforce clean water regulations, but the agency prevented citizen groups from suing Duke Energy. Some argue that this protected Duke Energy while putting citizens and the environment at risk.

Abstract:
Duke Energy will dump 12 million tons of coal ash across the street from a Sanford trailer park. Duke Energy did not have to notify residents or ask local leaders for permission to do so or conduct a study to determine potential harm to human health and the environment according to state law. Planning for the site has been underway for months by Duke Energy and many local citizens and leaders are frustrated they were not made aware or allowed to voice concerns.

Abstract:
Duke Energy has stated that it will pay for the coal ash spill into the Dan River at its site in Eden. However, its president and CEO have indicated that they expect consumers to pay for the cleanup of the other coal ash sites around the state which means that electric rates will rise. The price tag for this is between $2 and $10 billion. A concern is that many regulators who have the responsibility of answering that question of who pays have ties to the utility industry.
