Active Energy sued in federal court — again | The Progressive Pulse

CoalSwitch pellets (Photo: Allenby Capital) The Southern Environmental Law Center, on behalf of Winyah Rivers Alliance, is suing Active Energy Renewable Power over alleged violations of the Clean Water Act at its facility in Lumberton. Active Energy RP plans to build a wood pellet manufacturing plant there, on Alamac Road, but the facility is 18 months behind schedule. Instead a company subsidiary runs a sawmill on the 145-acre site. SELC had notified Active Energy of its intent in December; the company had 60 days to respond. At the time, a company spokesman told Policy Watch he had not yet read the complaint.

Environmental Working Group: Watchdog Coalition to Hold Duke Energy Accountable for Environmental and Economic Injustice

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 The Environmental Working Group issued the following news release: A coalition of public interest, environmental and economic justice organizations will convene the first-ever hearing to examine Duke Energy s policies and practices, which have polluted and financially punished its low-income ratepayers and communities of color throughout its vast six-state service area. The Duke Energy Accountability Coalition, launched last year, includes the People s Commission - an independent watchdog group acting solely in the public interest, free from the political and economic influence Duke wields with regulators, lawmakers and other elected officials throughout its territory. On Jan. 29, the commission will hold its first virtual hearing to hear testimony from an array of experts and advocates who have worked for years to hold the nation s largest investor-owned utility accountable.
