NCLCV’s Statement on House Bill 589, “Competitive Energy Solutions for NC”

Dan Crawford, director of governmental relations with the NC League of Conservation Voters, issued the following statement in regards to House Bill 589, which passed the North Carolina House on June 7 and has been referred to the Senate Rules and Operations Committee:

“The old saying goes that there are two things you don’t want to see being made – sausage and laws – and House Bill 589 is no exception. Ultimately, NCLCV will hold our nose and support the bill because it moves the state forward on renewable energy in several key areas. We remain steadfast in our commitment to hold Duke Energy accountable in its support of renewables and will continue to work to improve some aspects of the bill. This is a good first step of many to come in order to move towards a clean energy future.”
