The Duke of Hazardous Has Minions 0
One of them happens to be the Governor of North Carolina, who used be (natch) a functionary in the Duke’s fiefdom.
Facing South debunks some of said minion’s lies about the Duke and him. A nugget (emphasis in the original):
3. McCrory initiated action against Duke Energy over its coal ash? FALSE.
In claiming that he’s “the only governor that ever took action against Duke Power Company,” McCrory implies that he took proactive steps to address the company’s coal ash pollution. That is not the case.

“After watching the illegal pollution for years and taking no action, North Carolina authorities sued Duke Energy only after we notified the state and Duke Energy that we would file suit,” Rick Gaskins, the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation’s executive director, said at the time. “The people who depend upon Mountain Island Lake for their drinking water will be protected only if the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation, an independent citizens group, is present in Court to ensure that the laws are enforced and that the drinking water reservoir is fully protected.”
