North Carolina Gov. Stein vetoes bill repealing interim greenhouse gas reduction mandate

Washington Post8 hours ago
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein vetoed legislation Wednesday that in part would repeal an interim greenhouse gas reduction mandate set for power generation in a 2021 law , arguing that the bill would have discouraged diverse energy sources and harmed consumers.
The measure, which largely addresses activities involving Duke Energy — the state's dominant electric utility — would get rid of the current requirement that electric regulators take 'all reasonable steps to achieve' reducing carbon dioxide output 70% from 2005 levels by 2030.
