The True Cost of Power: Duke Energy’s Climate Deception outlines how, for decades, Duke Energy leaders have misled the public about the dangers of its fossil fuel use while also positioning itself as a clean leader and harming our local communities. The documentary features voices from prominent scientists, journalists and community leaders, and will introduce an NC WARN campaign to finally get our state on the right side of the climate emergency.
This event is cohosted by Binkley Baptist Church and University Presbyterian Church.
I am excited to help bring this screening to Carrboro as my leadership role in the Orange-Chatham Sierra Club. We will also have a staffer from the Club’s Beyond Coal Program available after the screening to answers question.
Who is NCWARN?
NC WARN is a member-based nonprofit tackling the climate crisis – and other hazards posed by electricity generation – by watch-dogging Duke Energy practices and building people power for a swift North Carolina transition to clean, renewable and affordable power generation and increased energy efficiency.
In partnership with other groups, and using sound scientific research, NC WARN informs and involves the public in key decisions regarding their health and economic well-being. Dedicated to climate and environmental justice, NC WARN seeks to address the needs of all of the public by intentionally including those often excluded from participation because of racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression.
Who is Interfaith Creation Care of the Triangle?
Interfaith Creation Care of the Triangle (ICCT) was founded by members of twenty faith communities in North Carolina’s Triangle area in February, 2019. The mission of ICCT is “to work within and across communities of faith to urgently fulfill our sacred duty to love and protect Creation, address our changing climate, and ensure justice for all life.”
ICCT has several hundred members from many faith communities including Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Protestant. Four ICCT action teams are working to support Creation care in faith communities by developing and providing resources in the areas of Faith & Worship, Earth Friendly Practices, Education, and Advocacy. ICCT can be contacted at [email protected] and on the Interfaith Creation Care of the Triangle Facebook page.
