Charlotte - Opposing Duke Engery Rate Hike

Duke must charge the ratepayers higher rates to pay for the precontruction costs for the W.S Lee Nuclear Power plant. Seventy percent of Dukes customers are in NC and the nuclear power plant is in South Carolina. Ratepayers will pay Duke even if the W.S Lee nuclear plant isn’t built. This happened in Florida, ratepayers are financing the Levy plant and the construction is put on hold indefinitely and may never be built.
Let’s not allow this to happen to NC ratepayers. We should be able to keep our money, not give it to Duke for a future unsafe, resource depleting nuclear plant.
