Textile, environment advocates speak against NC energy bill

Textile, environment advocates speak against NC energy bill By GARY D. ROBERTSONJune 29, 2021 GMT RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) North Carolina textile executives joined advocates for the environment and the poor on Monday to urge state legislators to reject a major energy bill pushed by House Republicans. The coalition held a news conference to criticize the wide-ranging proposal, which would order an early retirement of several coal-fired plants operated by Duke Energy subsidiaries. The bill, which got a committee hearing earlier this month, also would expand solar production and allow the electric utility to seek multiyear rate increases from the North Carolina Utilities Commission.
