National Journal's Under the Influence

Thursday, May 14, 2009 4:13 PM

Duke Energy stirred controversy last week when the coal-burning utility parted ways with the National Association of Manufacturers over the trade group's stance on climate change issues. Now, Duke CEO Jim Rogers is taking things one step further: He is starring in a commercial backed by the Environmental Defense Action Fund advocating a cap on carbon emissions.

Watch the ad here.

Duke Energy is one of many companies to have joined the United States Climate Action Partnership, an alliance of business and environmental groups advocating for legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In the first quarter of 2009, Duke Energy spent $1.3 million on lobbying.

With Bahamian Aragonite(calcium carbonate) now available in the United States we should ask  the question why Duke Energy is not using this product to help control therir emissions.

This product is used as a scrubbing agent to help reduce pollution.

Duke Energy has been contacted regarding this product, but I guess Mr. Rogers has not been informed of this.

Please let me know if you need additional information regarfing Aragonite.

Thanks,

Denise
