Abstract:

North Carolina ranked fourth in the nation in increases of global warming pollution from 1990-2004. Clean energy legislation is currently working to address the issue, but most of the discussion about the problem and solutions are a mystery. The Energy Issues Working Group is responsible for meeting and discussing the bill, but its meetings are not well publicized and the chairman of the group wants to keep it that way. Some of the changes proposed in a senate bill to address the clean energy problem and plan are detailed and members comment on the groups meeting process.
