It is good to be a Duke.
Dukes can can exercise droit du seigneur.
A cheaper option, which leaves the coal ash in place at most sites, would cost at least $2 billion.
Duke officials are keeping a low profile about who will pay that cost, but a state regulator estimated the higher price tag cited Tuesday could cost North Carolina households more than $20 a month.
The story explains that Duke is claiming that the ponds were legal when they were built, so pffftttt!
Who cares that said ponds had a history of problems and poor maintenance?
