Duke Energy Plans to Zero out Carbon Emissions by 2050

One of America’s largest power companies — which includes more than 600,000 Upstate customers — plans to zero out its carbon emissions by 2050, its CEO announced Tuesday.

“For more than a decade, we’ve been a leader in cleaner energy generation. I’m proud of that record, but we’re not going to rest there. We must continue to build on this strong foundation,” Duke Energy CEO Lynn Good said in a video statement unveiling the plan. “Everyone, starting with our employees, our customers and our communities expects that we are going to reduce emissions and protect the environment, and that’s exactly what we are doing.”
