I'm seeing a lot of North Carolinians take exceptionally useless approaches to "fighting" Duke Energy. There's no one you can petition on Change.org who gives a fraction of a shit about how many signatures you gather.
Flip the state legislature. We have these problems in part because you're not voting in "off years." And, yes, our state is gerrymandered to hell and back but that was also caused by you not showing up to "local only" elections.
Our elections matter as you can well see by all the bullshit our state legislature has gotten up to.
No democrats (or better) even running for your local legislative position? I guess you'd better go find one and haul their ass down to the election board to get them on the ballot.
Despite not thinking much of electoral politics, I show up to every election they let me vote in. If you've ever griped about my lack of enthusiasm for the terrible choices your party has on offer, I vote more than you do. And, yes, I do vote for your terrible "moderates" when that's all that's on offer. When it's time to do the one thing you believe actually works, you've got to go out and do that thing.

I'm a well-known hater of my "local" power company (Duke Energy), for a variety of reasons including environmental crimes they've been convicted of. Their most recent crime is illegally collecting money that wasn't owed them.
The NC Court of Appeals refused to make them pay back their ill gotten gains on the argument that the NC legislature had passed a bill that would have allowed Duke to take that money they weren't owed anyway.
This has made a lot of people understandably very upset, especially as Duke Energy prices skyrocket out of control and Duke Energy refuses to repair its last mile infrastructure, leading to frequent brown-outs in less wealthy neighborhoods.
So, what are they doing with their government approved loot? Repairing last mile infrastructure? If so, it still hasn't reached my underprivileged neighborhood where we've had at least four brown outs in rapid succession this morning.
What they definitely are doing is making me see a bunch of ads about how great they are.
I need solar panels and a just society.

Once again I am reminding you that the ONLY reason Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina is standing up to #Trump and saying the right things is because he is retiring. Before he announced he was a typical Republican lackey.

I'm not going to say that the people of Western North Carolina are buffoons who keep electing creeps. I'll let their selection of Mark Meadows, Madison Cawthorn, and Chuck Edwards to be their Representatives speak for itself. #GOP #NCPOL www.axios.com/2026/05/04/c...

A bit of good news for you. The #NC Governor’s race has been called for the sane, qualified candidate, Josh Stein (D).
The completely off his rocker candidate (self described ‘Black Nazi’ Mark Robinson R) has been sent packing.

NC’s “Helene Relief” bill (SB 382) is just a legislative power grab bill. Not only from the state-level executive branch, but also from the local levels, in making local decisions - #ncpol #ncgov #ncga #democracy

Robinson takes after Trump in more ways than one!

So glad to see the media connecting the dots! This guy has built a political career out being colorfully outrageous. He's like Trump on steroids and Black Fundamentalist flavored.
