WBT News Director Mark Garrison continues his investigative report on the coal ash controversy involving Duke Energy, who now is facing a lawsuit related to the high levels of radiation in Mooresville.
“The North Carolina utilities Commission as well as the North Carolina Supreme Court has affirmed these are prudent costs and is part of producing electricity for our customers," Duke Energy spokesperson Meredith Archie told WBTV. “Duke Energy has been producing energy from coal-fired units for decades. And so a byproduct of this is coal ash."
