Nuke On Hold

http://www.newsobserver.com/business/story/585962.html

Progress Energy has announced that it will spend the next two years promoting energy efficiency, putting a hold on building a new nuclear reactor at Shearon Harris and observing a moratorium on building new coal-fired power plants. You can read the News & Observer's article [link above]. Progress will invest $50 million to $60 million a year in efficiency programs similar to those proposed by Duke Energy, including duct testing for leaks, home energy audits and promotion of compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Progress and Duke do not strongly believe that their customers will choose energy efficient solutions, even if they offer them.

NCSEA encourages you to become a leader in your family, circle of friends and community in adopting energy efficiency solutions and helping others to do so as well. Prove Progress and Duke wrong!
