Sara Heilman is Energy Policy Coordinator with NC Warn. We talk about the work that NC Warn does throughout North Carolina and how they are primarily a watchdog organization for what Duke Energy is doing in the state. We focus on how the town of Carrboro is suing Duke Energy. This is the first lawsuit against an electric utility for deceiving the public about the dangers from burning fossil fuels. Duke Energy leaders have known since the 1960s that fossil fuels are warming the planet, and instead of taking action, they've stalled climate action by spewing misinformation about the ties between climate change and fossil fuel use. Duke Energy needs to be held accountable! You can amplifying this historic lawsuit by:Posting on social media. Check out this toolkit for sample posts, graphics, and links to resources, and follow us @SueDukeEnergy on all platforms.Sending an email to Duke Energy CEO Lynn Good demanding she change course.Signing your organization on to a letter demanding Duke Energy ditch fossil fuels.Check out the press release and complaint, and coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, NPR, and more.

Lib Hutchby is a member of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in the Triangle Branch, Raging Grannies, Frack Free UNC, and NC Environmental Network.In Chapel Hill, NC, local residents are rallying against a coal-fired power plant owned by UNC Chapel Hill, as well as a nearby Duke Energy gas build outs. Several community groups are also actively working to promote environmental sustainability by hosting events like World Water Day and attending public hearings.Recently, UNC submitted a proposal to burn packaging materials and plastics, turning them into pellets to be used as fuel in their coal plant. While this 12-month trial period might reduce some emissions compared to the plant's current fuel, burning these pellets could also increase levels of nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. On top of that, the pellets contain small amounts of PFAS, or "forever chemicals," which are notoriously harmful.However, thanks in part to the efforts of Chapel Hill's local groups, UNC has withdrawn its application. This victory is a testament to the power of community action in protecting the environment.Contact and connect with Lib: libhutchby5@gmail.com   Pellet testing: https://chapelboro.com/news/unc/no-more-coal-chapel-hill-prepares-for-hearing-on-uncs-co-gen-plant-and-potential-new-fuel-source

“So, this is a story I like to tell. We're in the office. The phone's not ringing. It's just a regular workday. We're just sitting there, & I said, ‘Well, I'm going to go out and find some work.'” – Billy Austin What happens when an engineer from Charlotte, NC buys an engineering firm in 2007, only to face the Great Recession a year later? For Billy Austin, it wasn't spreadsheets or strategy that saved him — it was his willingness to try anything, including a blind car ride into the unknown. With no clients calling, Billy got in his car, drove to an industrial park, & started knocking on doors. That bold move sparked a partnership with Duke Energy, giving his fledgling engineering firm the lifeline it needed to thrive. His self-made journey serves as encouragement to all entrepreneurs who need to remember that trust doesn't come automatically, growth starts with humility, & when in doubt, just take the first step – even if you don't know where it's going. To learn more, visit ShultzEngineering.com. You can't help of think of Helen Keller when you hear Billy's story. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

Andrew explains today how the NCB is different from other dirty electricity filters, what dirty electricity is, and how it can often manifest in electro-sensitivity.    In this episode, you will hear:  What electro-sensitivity is, how it manifested for Andrew and his wife, and the levels of perception.  Defining dirty electricity (DE).  How electricity affects the infections in our bodies.  Things power companies, homeowners, and corporations can do to help clean up dirty electricity.  The necessity for health standards, not just fire safety standards in building codes.  The NCB Pro and why it addresses the grounding conductor, unlike other dirty electricity filters.  The key difference between the NCB and the NCB Pro.  Handling dirty energy in your apartment.  Diseases and other conditions caused by electrical sensitivity.  Your grounding is dirty and dangerous until proven otherwise.    A seasoned EMF consultant, Andrew's story began with a realization—health issues tied to wiring problems in his own home.    After moving into a brand new home Andrew and his wife became electrically sensitive in 2001. He was fortunate to have Charles Keen and Karl Riley as early mentors. Beginning in 2010 Andrew successfully petitioned the NC Utility Commission to order Duke Energy to provide a no-cost, non-emitting meter for its customers.   After 15 years as Principal Horn of the NC Symphony, earning a master's degree in conducting, and 10 years as a professor of music at UNC Chapel Hill, he left music to help others with ES. Andrew was featured in a 2014 TIME docu-film “Searching for a Golden Cage” about electro-sensitivity.   In 2017, he made the leap to become a full-time EMF consultant, channeling his knowledge into creating safer living spaces for all.   Utilizing electrical training materials from Mike Holt, Andrew earned a Residential Electrician's Career Diploma in Penn Foster's year-long program in 2019.  In 2020, he wrote 6 short books as a part of his Killing Current series to raise awareness about the dangers of contact current, and in 2021 co-created a web course “Staying Healthy in a 5G World.”    Fast forward to today, and Andrew stands as the innovative mind behind the NCB Pro, a groundbreaking solution reshaping the landscape of home grounding safety. As a career diplomat in residential electricity, he brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to the world of EMF protection.   He currently works full-time for Bonneville Electric as a project manager and service technician and has earned an OSHA 10 safety certification.   He is also the inventor of the ground-breaking NCB, which is available at Shield Your Body.   Connect with Andrew McAfee: Website: https://www.homeemftracing.com/    Find out more about the NCB at: https://shieldyourbody.com/ground      Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech   Additional Links: Shield Your Body website: https://ShieldYourBody.com Shield Your Body Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Host R Blank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rblank9/ Shield Your Body on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shieldyourbody

After a heartfelt tribute to Gary McCredie, the founding editor of Grand National/Winston Cup Scene , we consider Mike Trower's resume … SEVENTY-THREE points wins with Jeff Gordon, Dale Jarrett and Jimmie Johnson and FIVE Cup championships.   That's extraordinarily rarified air … and he did it as the Ultimate WEEKEND Warrior.   In the first of what will be three installments of our interview, Mike talks about his humble beginnings in the sport with Helen Rae and Dave Marcis, the schedule he had to keep between the race track and his full-time job with Duke Energy and the evolution of what it took to compete … and survive … on pit road. We then take a deep dive into the November 1, 1984 issue of Grand National Scene.   There's a big multicar crash, a flip and one heck of a finish between Bill Elliott and Harry Gant in the Winston Cup event at Rockingham.    The weekend is a sad one for Sam Ard, his friends and family after he was involved in a terrible crash that ended his driving career. This issue also features a story on Junior Johnson and his influence up and down pit road.   NOTE: This show is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.   Be sure to check out the latest and greatest stories from the world of NASCAR at dailydownforce.com!

Tell us what you think of the show! Hello, Factor This! listeners. This is John Engel, editor-in-chief of Renewable Energy World and POWERGRID International. As many of you know, I live in Asheville, which was devastated from Tropical Storm Helene. This conversation between myself and Renewable Energy World content director Paul Gerke was hastily recorded on Wednesday, Oct. 2, so please excuse the production quality. Some of the conditions discussed in this podcast have changed since recording-- gas is now readily available in Asheville and Duke Energy has restored power to at least 90% of the Carolinas. I love Asheville. To see many of its best elements destroyed is beyond tragic. 10 days after the storm, most of the city remains without water. Remote mountain regions are impassable. People are still missing. We need your help. Please consider supporting these organizations: North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund Beloved AshevilleSamaritan's PurseFootprint ProjectThank you to all of you who continued to support Asheville's recovery. It means the world to me. Registration is live for GridTECH Connect Forum - Northeast. Join us in Newport Rhode, Island October 28-30 for the interconnection event.

Katherine Neebe serves as senior vice president of national engagement and strategy, and chief sustainability and philanthropy officer for Duke Energy. She leads Duke Energy's stakeholder engagement efforts to develop solutions to meet customer needs for continued reliable and affordable energy—while simultaneously working to achieve the company's goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In addition, Katherine maintains oversight of the Duke Energy Foundation, which provides philanthropic support to help meet the needs of communities where Duke Energy customers live and work. In this episode, we discuss: ●     Nuclear power's resurgence ●     Modernizing the power grid ●     The surprising reason the US power industry has been able to reduce emissions by 40% Key Takeaways: ●     Tipping Point Industries: Tipping points can be for the better or the worse. When it comes to creating a sustainable future, there are tipping point industries that can have an oversized impact on our collective emissions reductions. The energy sector, for example, is foundational—it powers our lives and businesses. By making it sustainable, we create a massive ripple effect that benefits every organization and individual relying on it. Similarly, transportation is another cornerstone sector. Innovation in tipping point industries can profoundly impact our collective path to sustainability. ●     Energy: The Force of Transformation: Physics teaches us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it merely changes from one form to another. This principle allows us to power entire cities by harnessing, transporting, and converting energy. It got me thinking—what do you want to power with the energy within you? What do you want to build and sustain with your life force? Reflecting on how you harness your energy can lead to a legacy that outlasts you. ●     Levers for Change: Three levers for driving sustainability are: business, government, and philanthropy. These forces work together, to create combined change that's more than the sum of its parts. Like sustainability, most areas in life have multiple levers to create change, where a combined effort produces the best results. If there's something in your life, or your business, that you want to change, take some time to consider what the levers of change are for that thing. Chances are, your best results will come from approaching change from multiple directions.
