"This bill is a hodgepodge of bad provisions that will result in dirtier water, discriminatory permitting and threats to North Carolina’s environment."

We wholeheartedly agree

We could just call the solar panel rate change what it is, unnecessary and harmful.

Today is the 1-year anniversary of the #IRA 1⃣🎂

Science and justice are clear: The #IRA is not enough. We need @POTUS to use his presidential pen to #EndFossilFuels + declare a #ClimateEmergency.

Will you join us? RSVP -> https://t.co/RIjKD7OyrV

🚨STATEMENT FROM NC WARN🚨

With their new “Carbon Plan,” @DukeEnergy leaders remain on a rate-hiking, climate- and community-wrecking track for North Carolina. The solar they propose would be built many years from now – if ever – and too late to help the climate crisis.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

[NEW] North Carolina's state minimum wage is only $7.25 an hour, the same as the federal minimum. That isn't livable - and it's not right.

It's well past time for North Carolina lawmakers to raise our state minimum wage.

[Jean Su 蘇安君 @ajeansu]

These fatal heat waves warrant urgent political action:

1. Short-term relief including an utility shutoffs ban & worker protections

2. Systemic action to #EndFossilFuels

It’s not late for @potus to declare a #ClimateEmergency to #EndFossilFuels
