Thanks to all the Gary and Climate Reality who have been protesting the coal plant The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for over a year. It is time to shut it down, Kevin Guskiewicz !
We know that it is no coincidence that the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill power plant is located in a historically black community. The fact that they still burn coal, shows they don't care about our flood vulnerable communities down east and low-income communities everywhere.
61 percent of N.C. voters believe their elected leaders should act urgently to combat the climate crisis, PublicPolicyPolling found in a March survey. Despite public opinion, candidates are split between partisan lines on how they intend to address climate change: bit.ly/3jd9cxH
Thanks to UNC UNC Reinvest for your call for greater transparency and rapid transition to clean power!
This is a good sign that the judge does agree that The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Kevin Guskiewicz can get away with continuing to pollute the community. It is time for the university to transition off coal.
U.S. District Court judge's ruling allows a Clean Air Act lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity and Sierra Club to proceed to trial.
