NC Chapter - Sierra Club
@sierraclubnc.bsky.social
Explore, enjoy, protect NC's environment and all who live in it. Hard at work since 1970.
Wetlands help keep our drinking water clean, absorb / slow floodwaters, & provide wildlife habitat. Court rulings & NC's own legislature have undermined their protection in recent years - now the EPA is threatening to make things worse. Fight back with us!

A plan to expand Wilmington Harbor threatens wildlife, wetlands, & the safety & health of neighboring communities. It's also completely unnecessary. Tell the US Army Corps of Engineers to scrap the plan! More details & comment form:

Well ... ^@$&. NCGA just overrode Stein's veto of S266, the Duke Energy giveaway bill. But we're not giving up - not on ratepayers or any North Carolinian who needs a healthy environment and economy. Read our statement & more sc.org/nclinks - and stay tuned for next steps!

NCGA just gave Duke Energy a green light to saddle NC ratepayers with financial risks of building new power plants, while reneging on a pledge to lower carbon emissions. Join us in urging Gov Stein to protect our wallets & environment by vetoing SB266!

Duke Energy & NC lawmakers want ratepayers to cover construction costs while the utility dumps its pledge to cut carbon emissions by 2030. A Senate vote could happen as soon as Tuesday. Contact your NC senator NOW and tell them to vote NO on Senate Bill 266
