flag Duke Energy wants to keep three NC coal plants running, citing weaker EPA rules and growing demand.

flag Duke Energy is seeking to delay retiring three North Carolina coal plants, with Belews Creek potentially operating until 2040, citing proposed EPA rule rollbacks that would ease emissions requirements. flag The utility says relaxed regulations, rising electricity demand from data centers and population growth, and plans to develop small modular nuclear reactors justify the extensions. flag Critics, including environmental groups, argue the move delays clean energy progress and relies on unproven nuclear technology while underinvesting in proven solar and battery storage solutions.
