More evidence North Carolina is now Art Pope's corporate fiefdom

[Indy Texas 🇺🇦🇵🇸]

Duke Energy is now off the hook as far as cleaning up the groundwater wells it has polluted with coal ash and other detritus over the years.

Environmental groups were filing suit in state courts, so Duke lobbyists pushed for the North Carolina legislature to include a section in the Regulatory Reform Act that would allow companies like Duke to leave contaminants beyond the 500-foot limit, as long as it did not pass onto adjacent properties, and remove obligations to clean up water contamination.

But think of all the jobs they're creating! And with the cancer to push the life expectancy down, they'll be hiring for generations!

Not to mention the future jobs in healthcare and environmental cleanup that will result.

Duke Energy=the Republican idea of a "small business."

This is what FREEDOM means!

Anyone who objects to this is obviously a bubble-dwelling effete urban liberal who wants to destroy Appalachia with their War on Coal, hates the working class (and the job creators- liberals are just full of hate for everyone not like them), and worships at the hoax-spreading Church of "Science" and their un-American ivory towers.

God save the good common normal folks from their "help".
