This is a very interesting article, thanks for sharing this.
As a North Carolina
native my electricity has always come from Duke, either directly or indirectly, through co-ops. I actually grew up less than 20 miles from one of their largest coal plants and can remember seeing giant plumes of black smoke emerging from those massive stacks. After the acid rain legislation the smoke these stacks emit now is much cleaner often times white or at least light gray.
One of the most interesting things I read in the article is where Jim Rogers spoke of the need to conserve energy. This is something that is lost today, and unheard of advise from an energy executive. I remember after the gas shortage of the 70's there was a big push to conserve. Some cities even went as far to impose fines on those who used excessive energy.
Thanks again Monica for sharing this, it makes me feel a little better about paying my electric bill each month.
I also intend to write duke and let them know they have my support on this.
Definitely a start in the right direction.
