If anything - simply trying to illuminate their contradictions (or rather, their true commitments) in putting WAY more resources into dirty energy than solar.... Now, if they flipped that equation (1000+ MW of solar and 16 MW of coal), they'd be getting a little closer to applause.... :) -Matt Oh, I wasn’t in any way trying to applaud Duke.

I understand the necessity of scaling up our renewables, but this solar plan sounds eerily similar to traditional energy development patterns... I would be very wary of Duke’s solar plan.

Are there any updated version of these tables? What I have seen is almost 20 years old and maybe out of date.

Perhaps a few public nudges... are their board meetings public, are the meeting date, time and place announced??? It's Chicago probably, probably at Joyce HQ?
