Cliffside Hearings this week!

One of the biggest issues we are facing this year in North Carolina is the proposed expansion of Duke Energy's coal fired Cliffside power plant on the border of Rutherford and Cleveland Counties.

This expansion is very short sighted. Coal is both unfriendly to the environmental and more expensive than turning to a combination of energy efficiency and a renewable energy portfolio.

There are three public hearings coming up on this important issue. The Utilities Commission is also taking written commentary. For more information about Cliffside and ways you can take action, please visit this page on our website.

Feel free to contact Tom at tom.jensen@sierraclub-nc.org for talking points and more information.
